Tumblr's Android app now supports tablets, the blogging platform announced Monday.

In addition to accommodating larger screens, the latest update also brings a new tags page and an alphabetical "following" list that shows a user's followed people. The app's current version, 3.2., requires Android 2.2 (Froyo) and up.

Unfortunately for iOS users, Tumblr has yet to launch an iPad app, so owners of Apple's tablet will still have to wait patiently.

Last month, the platform launched a new version of its iOS app, making it completely native. The app debuted a redesigned dashboard, larger photos, faster post loading and notification previews, among other updates.

Tumblr experienced a major service disruption after the site went down last week. It previously suffered a multi-hour outage in October.
