Instagram updated its Android app Tuesday, adding support for the Nexus 7 as well as the ability to share photos you take using the app on Flickr.
Previously, Nexus 7 owners were shown a compatibility error message when trying to launch the app on the device. Now people rocking the pint-sized tablet can get full access to Instagram’s features, as well as take photos to upload to the service using the tablet’s sole 1.2-megapixel forward-facing camera.
The Android app update also now adds the ability to upload photos from the app directly to Flickr. The app already supports sharing on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and Foursquare.
Instagram was originally released for Android in early April.
The Nexus 7 was announced in June at Google’s developer conference. The 7-inch tablet is the first tablet on the market running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The tablet went home in the hands of developers at the conference, and pre-orders of the device that were placed during Google I/O started shipping last week.
