    Facebook Camera, a photo-sharing mobile app for iOS

    Consumer Reports News: May 24, 2012 04:08 PM

    Facebook is completing its $1 billion acquisition of the mega-popular photo-taking and -sharing app Instagram—but meanwhile, today the company launched Facebook Camera, a mobile app for iPhone and iPod Touch.

    Facebook Camera simplifies the process of uploading your photos to the social network. You're able to post multiple photos at once—new ones or shots you've just taken—instead of just one at a time, by selecting them from your camera roll. Before you upload, you can select who gets to see the photo(s).

    The new app also lets you rotate and crop your shots and add filters, as well as tag friends, add captions, and add your location. (In fact, your location must be turned on to use Facebook Camera.) If you rethink adding a photo, you can delete it from your Facebook page from within the app.

    And of course, you can view your FB friends' photos through the app. You'll have a feed of newly uploaded shots you can scroll through.
