Instagram for iOS Now Lets You Shoot in Landscape Mode

Instagram updated its iOS app, letting users shoot pictures and videos in landscape mode. It also fixes a minor bug that was an issue since Instagram video launched in June.

The app's new version 4.0.2 is already available in the App Store.

The update makes it more comfortable to shoot holding the iPhone horizontally, although the format of the resulting videos and pictures will still be square. Initially, when Instagram video launched, videos shot while holding the iPhone horizontally would not get flipped automatically by the app.

The update also adds the Cinema stabilization feature for the iPhone's front-facing camera, already available for its rear-facing camera.
