Instagram To Launch Android Version of Photo-Sharing App

Better late than never. Instagram co-founder Kevin Systrom announced at the SXSW Interactive conference in Austin, TX Sunday that an Android version of the photo-sharing app was coming soon.

The company is currently testing the Android app in private Beta and according to Instagram’s co-founder, it’s looking good. “In some ways, it’s better than our iOS app,” Systrom told TechCrunch editor Alexia Tsotsis. “It’s crazy.”

Not that the iOS app’s 27 million registered users are complaining.  Systrom also said that since its launch in the fall of 2010, Instagram was now seeing “Facebook-level engagement,” with 67 percent of its active users having used the app the day before his talk at the conference.
