Do you know why the App Store and Google Play are littered with photo collage apps? The answer is simple: Instagram. One of the reasons for this is the fact that Instgram doesn’t actually have a built-in collage feature or any tools to help people post more than one image at a time. That’s all about to change, however, with the introduction of Instagram’s new app: Layout.
One can argue that Instagram is largely responsible for this boom of photo collage applications found in app stores like Google Play. The fact that Instagram never felt the need to build this kind of functionality into their app — or allowed users to share more than a single photo at a time — meant hardcore IG’ers had to search elsewhere. There’s a huge business built around it too. Perform a quick search and you’re sure to find endless pages of apps. While a few get the job done, most feel like a hack job with a user interface that’s clunky, and output quality that can be lacking. Rather than build this functionality inside Instagram (like many of their users have been clamoring for), Instagram is introducing a completely separate app. It’s called “Layout from Instagram” and it allows users to compile photo collages for easy sharing to the photos-only social network.
