Overall from the menu and features of Instagram application on both platforms, giving similarity, there is little difference in the presentation or access via the tab key. But CnwinTech finds another difference when trying to perform upload photos.

On the Menu Upload photos, you’ll be given the option to upload via gallery you have on your device, or to capture images directly via camera. A little advice for you who just use this application, capturing images in portrait or landscape, will require you to represent it in a proportion (box) when doing upload photos. Thus, there will cut pictures, you should always provide space for this, or use other photo applications that deliver proportional results directly.

cnwintech instagram android apple filter

After you select the image you want to upload, display screen filter will be given several options. These filters are present on both devices:

  • Filter on Android Device: Normal, Amaro, Rise, Hudson, Sierra, X-Pro, Lo-Fi, Earlybid, Sutro, Toaster, Brannan, Inkwell, Walden, Hefe, Valencia, Nashville, 1977, and Kelvin
  • Filter on Apple Devices: Normal, Amaro, Rise, Hudson, X-Pro II, Sierra, Lo-Fi, Earlybid, Sutro, Toaster, Brannan, Inkwell, Walden, Hefe, Valencia, Nashville, 1977, and Kelvin

The difference lies in the use of filters, which filter on Android devices using X-Pro, whereas the Apple devices using the X-Pro II filter.

If viewed from the top menu, you can rotate images, add frames, or an effect of brightness in addition to the use of an existing filter. But on the Apple devices look, there are additional features of Tilt Shift/Blur (pictures menu of water droplets). This feature presents a direct blur effect to the Photos.

You can add a blur effect on the top and bottom of the photo (with minus logo), or blur effects on surroundings and focus on the center of the image (circle logo). These additional effects are not you meet in the Instagram application on Android devices.

The difference from this feature is not very meaningful if the previous image you have done with other applications, but this Tilt Shift/Blur feature is a feature that integrated on the Apple device through this Instagram application. You can use other applications in a blur effect with a variety of interesting applications contained in Google’s Play, so the photo upload process, aiming only to upload it, and does not require any additional effect on the image.

This is similar to the filter found in this Instagram application. The addition effect on the image with various filters, you can do with the use of other applications first.
