A new iOS app called Swipeable inspired by Instagram’s ability to accept multiple images and upload them has been revealed. And it takes the social networks feature to new heights by using it to share 360-degree photos in a carousel.
Swipeable Share Photo’s To Instagram
Developed by Holumio Limited solely for the iOS operating system, it works only with Instagram. Making use of the Facebook-owned platforms multiple photos feature, it enables you to share large images across within smaller photos. As a result, Swipeable has become an almost instant hit, with users flocking to use it on compatible iOS devices.
The developer of app recently published a Press Release and described it as follows:
“Swipeable is meticulously tailor-made for Instagram users. Just pick up your panorama, and the app does the rest. It’s neat, simple and intuitive user interface navigates you in photo sharing. Swipeable automatically divides your picture into square pieces. You will be able to share the photo with the coolest new Instagram feature – Multiple Photos. Apply a single filter on everything and a single caption, location as well as likes and comments will apply to the whole post. Friends can swipe back and forth to explore your journey.”
Android Version On The Way
Right now, Swipeable is only available to iOS 9.0 and above users, which means no Android version. However, there have been some rumors circling about an Android version being in development, so it may not be long. Unfortunately, we don’t have any information on when this may be, although, speculation does suggest a 2017 date is likely.
