Instagram Gets a Prettier UI and New Features - Prelude to an Android App?
The visual overhaul of the navigation UI comes five months after the app's camera was redesigned in version 2.0. This iteration appears to complete a larger redesign process was undertaken last year. The new version uses new icons and UI elements that feel like iOS-centric, which suggests an Android version may be up next.
Instagram CEO Kevin Systrom confirmed last year that building an Android version of Instagram is "a major priority" for the company, and the company is known to be working on such an app. It's really not a matter of if, but when. Last week, rumors began swirling that Instagram for Android could be imminent. We reached out to Systrom, who declined to give any specifics about a timeline.
For Instagram, Android is the most logical next step for growth. Having stirred early buzz in the tech press and later named Apple's iPhone app of the year for 2011, the service has done quite well, especially considering it only exists on iOS. It now boasts over 15 million users on Apple's mobile operating system alone.
Launching an Android app will expose it to a massive number of potential new users. Android commands more than 46% of the smartphone market, according to Nielsen. If its success on iOS is any indication, the service can expect to see its user base flourish once the Android version drops.
The other top priority at the company's headquarters is building out a Web version of the service. This one is a little less urgent, because they are so many third party Web UIs for Instagram, and probably not as much demand for an official one as there seems to be for an Android app.

It’s 10pm, do you know where your data is?
There is an interesting article from Andy Baio over at Wired that looks at how easy it has become to give total strangers a window into our lives. With the advent of OAuth, people can easily sign up for new services and apps by relying on their Facebook and Google profiles. Instead of filling out a lot of forms and trying to remember a new password, you can just rely on these companies to handle everything and finish the process in one or two clicks.
But this frictionless (Mark Zuckerberg’s new favorite word) world has serious risks. Baio uses the example of Unroll.me, a service that helps him avoid unwanted mailing lists and spam. He was about to sign up, when he realized that, when he stopped to think about it, he actually knew nothing about the people behind this startup.
“For all I knew, it could be run by unscrupulous spammers or an Anonymous troll looking for lulz. And I was about to give them unfettered access to eight years of my e-mail history and, with password resets, the ability to access any of my online accounts?”
To use a real world example, it would be like walking past a billboard that offers to keep unwanted flyers and catalogs out of your mailbox. Without bothering to learn anything more, you drop a copy of your keys into a black box. Sounds risky when you put it that way.
For anyone who’s suddenly thinking, “oh man, I’ve given access to a ton of random apps”, there is a relatively simple solution. The best one we’ve come across so far is mypermissions.org, which gathers together the services like Facebook, Twitter, Google and Foursquare that power a lot of third party apps. We were a bit shocked to find close to one hundred apps had permission to access our Facebook data, nearly a dozen of which we didn’t recognize or remember signing up for.
It’s fun to try out new web apps, but these digital one night stands doesn’t mean you should be giving away your data to relative strangers from that point on.
