Hot off the heels of its debut last month, Instagram for Android has been updated with a new tilt-shift effect. The feature, which allows users to create depth of field with linear or spherical blurring, was already available for iOS devices but was omitted from the initial Android release. For a better understanding of the effect and how best to use it, Instagram has provided an in-depth guide on its official website. The update is available now via Google Play.
