Facebook has announced a app of its own called “Facebook Camera”. Launching initially for the Apple App Store, Facebook App helps you filter and post multiple pictures from a phone, similar to what Instagram does. The other feature is photo sharing and editing. The app allows you to take a photo, add an effect and upload directly to your Facebook account. The filters are similar to Instagram filters with different names like "Emerald", "Copper", "Coffee" and "Cream".  To actually upload a photo that you've taken from the app or to have the app access your photo library, you have to turn your location services on. For those of you on limited data plans, you might want to be careful with how much you use the app because of this. The app does allow you to share multiple photos in one go.

The app features a newsfeed focussing on photos of your friends on the social networking. You can also “Like” and “Comment” on the pictures through the app – like you can do on the Facebook website. The “Me” tab shows all the pictures in which you have been tagged.
Tap the filmstrip row of photos on the top bar to access photos on your mobile phone. The row will expand to display all available images. To post on the social network, all you need to do is tap the image. The app also allows you to post multiple pictures to a single post. If you want to take a new photo and directly post to the site, click the camera icon on the top left of the application.
