Instagram explained the reason behind the new app in an official blog post:
[quote]The Apple iPhone was the first device that transformed a mobile phone into a powerful camera, allowing people everywhere to capture and share their moments on Instagram. More than 70 million photos and videos are now being shared on Instagram every day by people around the world, capturing anything from sweeping landscapes to the World Cup. In the past few months, we worked closely with Apple to reimagine the Instagram experience for your wrist.[/quote]
The Instagram app for the Apple watch combines all the features you can expect, such as:
- – See the latest posts from accounts you follow on your feed
- – Swipe up and down to view and like photos
- – See recent comments or likes on your photos
- – Tap on usernames to view their profiles
