A new version of the Instagram application is now available for download for devices powered by Google’s Android platform.

One key feature that Android users have been waiting for in Instagram was tilt-shift, introduced in the new version 1.1.0 of the app. At the same time, the new application iteration is packed with a filter screen fix for GT-S5830C devices.

Through tilt-shift, users can alter depth of field in photos. The option enables them to add realistic blur to the setting around a focal point, to add emphasis.

“Our popular tilt-shift feature allows you to easily alter depth of field in your photographs,” Instagram notes in a recent blog post.

“By adding a realistic blur to the setting around a focal point, you can emphasize the heart of your photos and even make some scenes look miniature.”

Specific info on how to take advantage of the feature is available on the company’s website. Instagram for Android 1.1.0 can be downloaded via this link.
