For some weeks that it had been rumored that Twitter was preparing its own Instagram, i.e. adding to the service the ability to apply filters to the photos shared by users in the tweets. It seems that the rumor has ceased to be because Twitter has just insert the filters for photos on customers for iOS and Android.



Yes, the end seems that Twitter has decided to face Instagram with his same formula: filters in the photos. The news has been published by own Twitter through your blog and, from there, have commented that the new version of its customers for iOS and Android will come with this new functionality that lets users retouch photos (and give them that vintage touch that has dazzled users) before you upload them to the service and share in their tweets.

Eight are filters available that come to Twitter from the hand of Aviary and that, logically, intend to concentrate on Twitter all the experience of the user, avoiding having to resort to the services of a third party. Precisely, the deployment of this functionality comes just after the announcement of Kevin Systrom block the viewing of images of Instagram at Twitter to force users to visit the profiles and Instagram website.



Indeed, has been Twitter that more emphasis has been placed in recent months that avoid that users would have to resort to third-party services (e.g. hosting images) and that more money has given with the use of its API to promote, for example, the use of its official mobile clients or desktop.

For iOS and Android Twitter updates are already available in the App Store and Google Play so from now, we can begin to explore the 8 filters that Twitter offers as an alternative to Instagram. In any case, if we want to continue enjoying Instagram at Twitter with extensions such as Instatwit or with the help of IFTTT we can reattach both services in our timeline.
