Instagr.am 1.7 for iPhone released

Instagram is a fun way to share your experiences with others through photos. The latest version of the iPhone app includes some neat new features. Including:

Grid / List Photo Views: Switch between grid and list views of photos on user profiles as well as on location and tag pages.

Profile Bios: Go to a user's profile to view their 150-character biography. You can edit your own by tapping Profile tab > Edit profile.

Import Profile Photos from Facebook/Twitter: Use your Facebook or Twitter profile photo on Instagram by tapping Profile > Change profile picture > Import from Facebook / Import from Twitter.

Additional Settings for Push Notifications: Tap the Profile tab > Edit Profile > Push Notifications to edit your notification settings. You can now choose to receive like and comment notifications from everyone or only from the people you follow. Note that Push Notifications for Instagram must be turned ON in the Settings app for these additional settings to work (details here).

Better grotagging: In addition to the green map marker, "Geotagged" will appear in the Where? field if location is turned on. This means that the lat/long of your current location will be tagged with the photo. Just tap the green map marker to turn off geotagging. Read more about how location works on Instagram.

These features make it easier than ever to manage and share comments from your followers. And the addition of grid view makes it even more intuitive. I love this app and all the spin off web galleries like Instagrid and products like fridge magnets which we've featured in this post! You can download free from the app store.
