Meta is rolling out advanced camera features to Instagram's Android app, including Ultra HDR and Night Sight support. The company is also launching a dedicated Instagram app for Android tablets.
Instagram users on Android will gain access to Ultra HDR and Night Sight capabilities through the app's in-camera system. Ultra HDR enables enhanced dynamic range in photos, while Night Sight improves low-light photography—both features previously available on Google's Pixel devices.
The updates align Instagram's Android experience with its iOS counterpart, where these features have been available to users. The rollout represents Meta's effort to match feature parity across platforms.
Separately, Meta is addressing tablet users with a native Instagram app for Android tablets. Previously, Android tablet users relied on the phone version of the app or accessed Instagram through web browsers. The dedicated tablet app will feature an optimized interface tailored to larger screens.
These changes expand Instagram's camera capabilities and improve the platform's accessibility across Android devices, from phones to tablets.
