Instagram is getting a major update to address some of the most requested features from its users. The biggest update is the ability to import video from your library, meaning you can share video you’ve previously recorded with another app. There’s also a straightening tool for iOS users, which fixes your photos that are slightly crooked.
Importing video from your library lets you select how to crop the video into a square, as well as trimming the video down to fit the 15 second limit. Straightening for iOS is a very basic addition, allowing users to straighten their photographs before posting. Unfortunately there’s no straightening for Instagram videos.
Last but not least, Android users running 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) will be able to use the video functionality of Instagram. Previously, video was only available to Android users running 4.1 and up.
