Instagram Stories’ camera controls catch up to Snapchat
Instagram isn’t shy about wanting to go toe-to-toe with Snapchat through Stories, and that now includes camera features, too. Updates for both the Android and iOS versions of Instagram let you swipe up and down to zoom while you’re recording a video, much as you would in that other social app. The iOS version, at least, also lets you double-tap to switch cameras in mid-clip like its Snapchat counterpart. No, it’s not exactly a subtle tweak — but it makes sense if Instagram is going to poach Snapchatters that may take their camera controls for granted.
