Issuu - You Publish. FB Launches Facebook Camera – An Instagram-Style Photo Filtering, Sharing, Viewing iOS App. Insta-who?
Today Facebook begins rolling out Facebook Camera for iOS to English-speaking countries, a standalone photos app where you can shoot, filter, and share single or sets of photos and scroll through a feed of photos uploaded to Facebook by your friends. Developed by Facebook’s photos team without the help of Instagram because the acquisition deal hasn’t closed yet, Facebook Camera looks a lot like the app TechCrunch leaked images of a year ago, and is designed for quicker publishing than Facebook’s multi-featured primary mobile app.
Facebook Camera lets you rapidly pick one or more photos, apply filters, tag friends and locations, add a description, and post. While its 14 filters, batch uploads, and streamlined interface are a big step up from Facebook for iOS, the design isn’t as beautiful as Instagram and neither are the photos you’ll see in it.

That’s because Facebook has an algorithm that controls what posts you see – Edgerank. Friends and fan pages with higher EdgeRank are more likely to show in your “Top News”. A Styleguide for New Facebook Brand Pages [infographic]
