6tag Instagram client gets new blur and collage tools, ultra dark theme and more in v2.0

What better manner to start the weekend than with a huge update for 6tag, the popular Instagram client for Windows Phone? Version 2.0 went alive in the Shop this morning and we have all the details for you.

At this bespeak, 6tag is no longer playing catch up to the official Instagram app found on iOS and Android, it's surpassing information technology. That's peculiarly the case with version 2.0 every bit it adds features that are not found in the official offering, making the app fifty-fifty more special. Here's what'south new...

6tag v2.0 changelog

Create collage with a lot of customization
Blur your pictures using your finger
Posts can be displayed in full screen
New colour theme: total dark colour
Salvage your pictures on your phone in high quality when yous post (up to 2048x2048)
Upload pictures using the new Instagram and better moving picture quality (640x640 instead of 612x612)

That'south a whole lot of new features. The full dark color makes everything black on the device, resulting in a highly contrastive wait that many of you will relish. The previous dark theme is now a hybrid night-light and the original calorie-free theme is of grade still in that location.

The ability to blur photos with your finger and create collages (both demonstrated in our hands on video, in a higher place), is truly unique and nullifies the demand for external apps to 6tag. That should make creating new Instagram posts a lot more enjoyable and more importantly, allow Windows Phone users to take an advantage over the iPhone and Android devices.

The other features, including saving HQ photos from your posts and slightly college resolution images, are just icing on the cake.

Over all, 6tag keeps getting amend and better with each update. It'south more powerful now than the official app and we imagine that volition keep happening with further updates.

Update: For those having crashing issues using the collage feature, Rudy explains:

"Windows Phone closes app when information technology uses too much memory, an improved collage feature has been submitted two hours ago using ten times less memory"

Then expect a modest bug fix update in the coming days to set up that.
