That's not an easy task inside ios, so the app got popular taking advantage of a deficiency of ios.

As apple have a good trendy appeal, leaving the app exclusive and only allowing posts from ios they took their share of apple's Glam and became an important social 'thing'.

I guess this express how it grew, and why it is not a photo-fix app. For photo-fix and cool effects, android and ios have a lot better options. ^^


Huh? There's no hassle in taking a pic & posting it online. It is an easy task. Lol. Get your facts straight.

Um, dude. That's not the point. Sure I would like to have a one click share button. But it's not a hassle to open up Facebook & press the photo button. Sheesh.

I haven't watched this 2nd video, but I've already mentioned this guy has some half truths & inconsistencies.

I know you loooooooove to hate apple. But you can go suck androids prick now.

Just so we are clear, on Android you can open the camera app and, after taking a picture, you can email it, post it on facebook or google+, upload it to dropbox or box.com, send it via MMS, bluetooth, ... you get the idea, the possibilities are endless. Within the camera app, without exiting it; and the same applies to the whole OS. This is a genuine question - can you do the same on iOS? I presume you can email, because email is such a basic feature, but can you do any of the others, within the camera app?

Thanks for the clarification. That's my point. Android has a mechanism in which an app declares that it handles the "share" feature (for instance, facebook, or dropbox, or the MMS client, ...) so, when you click on share, all the apps you have installed that declare that functionality will be displayed, making it extremely easy to share stuff. You install a new app, it appears in the list automatically; you uninstall one, it no longer shows in the list.

I see people at work using it as well; some companies have firewalls to prevent access to some websites, to try to control the loss of productivity. I think it's becoming more and more of an issue in some work places.

Why do you hope that?

Did someone ignore your friend request?
