Facebook's acquisition of Instagram for a whopping $1 billion last month was one of the biggest moves in tech industry but what seems only natural with this strategy is that Facebook wants to own all of the social mediums where users spend most of their time.
With the lead on social 'messaging', Facebook's next move is to own the social photos and video sharing space.
And if you wondered what happened to Facebook's acquisition of Instagram? Well it seems that we might have an answer today. Introducing: Facebook Camera.
The Facebook Camera app is, well, the same as Instagram only with minor changes such as being able to upload multiple photos at once and being able to tag your friends. The core functionality of Facebook Camera app takes complete cue from Instagram such as applying filters to your photos instantly and sharing with your followers. In this case, however, your Facebook friends are your followers automatically.
The UI of the app is in no way as clean, smooth and as soft to use as Instagram and looks more like the new Google+ app for iPhone. It's good at what it does, that is, photos, but apart from that it doesn't have much to offer.
There is obviously the possibility that the Facebook Camera app is a standalone app of its own and has no relation to Instagram whatsoever but given the recent acquisition, we still have our doubts.
