Yep rerouting to the browser was my biggest complaint. I don't use FB chat, and Places is gay.
This update reminds me of facebook for iphone. I feel at home again.

But now instead of your shack you live in a... Smart Mansion. Lmao, Yeah i feel like we are making progress with android now that are consumer base is almost if not bigger than iOS
I downloaded it, and it still doesn't compare to the iPhone's Facebook app, but I guess its a step in the right direction

FB Places and Groups are junks. they take spaces on the screen for absolutely no use because I dont even care to use those feautes. Wish i can disable them and make them disappear for good.
can you guys tell me what size your facebook apk is on your phone? Mine is ringing in at a whopping 1,29GB with 1.08MB (before the update) as the Application and 1.29GB listed as data. Clearing data does nothing for the size. Just seems way out of whack IMO.

+1, I dont get it. I have filters in the 6 photo apps I already have on my phone. Any picture/screenshot taken/downloaded is already instantly uploaded to Photobucket, and Dropbox and Google+ does this as well. If I want to share there is already a share button that offers much more functionality than any share Instagram can have.. What is so special about this app?

Its the sharing community in itself. Much like a lot of people didn't get twitter at first. My girlfriend doesn't have Facebook, twitter, or Google+ she's always hated social networks but she absolutely loves instagram.
I've noticed she gets quite a good amount of commentson her instagram photos. Yea you can post photos on any other social network but it isn't front and center. You'll just be another link in a sea of status updates whereas instagram is all photos all the time.
Why limit yourself to 140 characters when a picture is worth a 1000 words?
That should be instagrams slogan. I should pitch the idea to them lol

So it's a social network where you only post pictures, no statuses, no links?. Are all pics completely public or private or can you choose individually?

Its 100% photo driven. You can do a small description with the picture and tag people. I kind of think its like the photos aspect of tumblr + twitter follow/following + hipstamatic filters. It reminds me of a bit of flickr or what it could've been had they gone mobile with their community earlier.
Its definitely not for everyone but ill give it a try when it comes to android.
Also I'd assume there's an option to make the pictures private only to approved people (followers).

I downloaded it on the iPad and looked around.. Skrillex had some cool pics up. None of my fb "friends" had actual pics up and only a handful of them had accounts, all girls. It was okay I guess but I still dont really see the point. Its like Google+ for pictures, it may be better than facebook (pictures), but without the user base its useless to me.

Definitely all dependant on how many people you know on it. It seems most of my friends are on it. But then again they're all on iPhones mostly so they actively use instagram.

iphone users are the ones that made this even remotely relevant because they dont have well implemented sharing options like android does. :]

Pretty sure iPhone lets you share any photo you take to the usual social networks. Instagram is just a community built around people who like taking indietastic photos with filters. I know you can already upload photos to a million places...but for example if I upload a photo to Google+ even with me being in 1000+ circles I'll maybe have 1 comment on it. My girlfriend on instagram with 76 followers will have atleast 5 comments.

Nah iDevices wont let you share to the fb, which is the big one imo. You have to go into the fb app and upload it.
I love how Android lets you share to any app installed on the device.

Anyone know how to import your instagram photos to Facebook. I have tried sharing it to Facebook, but it will only give a link. I see that some people can import their pictures to a Facebook album called "instagram photos." Can anyone help?

Its handled by Facebook. Whenever you post to Facebook from the Instagram app, it by default creates an album called "Instagram photos".
Its an app for hipsters.
So chances are, they won't tell you how it works.

Its not, I think its because the galaxy nexus doesn't have Facebook sync support. When I upload a photo, it never appears on my fb account, even though I linked my account.. the same goes with twitter.
Kudos to the person who can find the solution.

Mind sharing how you got it to work? I'm having the same issue...
Haha please elaborate? I must be having a derp moment if it's that easy to figure out...
In the settings under "edit sharing settings" I have it linked to my fb account. However I thought that the photos would automatically upload just like that. But when you upload a new photo, you have to check the fb box, and then upload picture.

Oic... thanks. I thought it was automatic as well

Hello all,
As the title says really, tweetdeck was alrite but hadn't been updated in years and tweekdeck started to go odd and fail liking posts for example and currently Seesmic seems to force me to open pics in the browser rather than showing a preview. Can anyone name some of their favourites especially when being able to update both Facebook and Twitter at same time? Feel free to review it briefly saying why you like the app.
Best

I only know of 50/50 solutions unfortunately. Friendcaster allows you to update facebook statuses and share them to twitter. Flipboard can sync twitter and facebook feeds. I don't use twitter so I have no idea how well it works but viewing facebook pictures opens up inside flipboard rather than sending you to a website.

I've tried a variety of different facebook and twitter apps but i still prefered stock apps for both i recently tried tweetcaster (twitter client) but there just seems to be alot goin on in that app for my liking.

Depends what you desire from your client. Personally, I like http://boidapp.com/. It's not as fully featured as some others but look beautiful.
Well ideally would like the app to do both fb and Twitter,be able to view peoples pictures direct in the app without it using the browser and lastly to be able to update both at once. So i would like smoking similar to tweet deck and tweak deck but not so...well buggy. The reason for this thread was because it got to the point where everytime i tried to like a post it would fail. Even after reconfig and even a wipe of the app data. I got fed up with it and removed both afore mentioned apps.
Have you tryed tweakdeck?

Facebook native app is good enough. Just make sure u do a fresh install on every update.
For twitter I suggest TWEAKdeck, paulobrien version of tweetdeck. Lots of improvements compare to original tweetdeck
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I recommend twicca for twitter. It has a built in viewer for pictures and tweetlonger. It also has color themes.
As for facebook, I can't recommend anything because I don't have a FB account.

Hi guys
Just switched back to android from iOS after two years.. Am looking for an app or widget to post status update simultaneously to multiple social networks... Couldn't find it through search. I found multi post that uses ping.fm but that is now closed. Suggestions?

If This Then That - IFTTT
Not an app, but a web service - you can make basic 'recipes' such as "If I post a status on facebook, post a tweet". There are a bunch of triggers and actions you can use, plenty of services to hook into, and a bunch or recipes made by other people to browse.
Perhaps a bit more encompassing than an app; I thoroughly recommend it
Thanks for the suggestions friends. I am primarily looking to update fb, twitter, g+ and linkedin directly from one place without having to copy paste or retype. IFT TT is an option but I'd rather do it from one dedicated app or widget. Quite a few software for the same on iOS, one of my favorites being sociable. Anything that comes to mind for this?
