Instagram experimenting with new interface

Instagram is busy altering its user interface in a small-scale experiment on select Android devices.

You can hardly call Instagram the most convoluted application in the world, yet it seems like they’re still not content with the user interface. Droid-Life has noticed that the company are experimenting with a new design theme for the photography-driven social network that centres around making things even simpler than before.

The entire editing portion of the application has been squeezed onto just a single page of information, comprising comments, filters and tags. If you want to test the new interface, you’ll need to be running Instagram 7.3 and be very lucky. It’s only being rolled out to a select few people. We wouldn’t be surprised of a bigger roll-out soon though.
