Instagram’s Layout app, which landed on iOS in March, is coming to Android today. Layout allows users to take multiple images and patch them together to make a collage. Photos can also be edited in-app and duplicated if needed. In addition to Layout for Android, Instagram is announcing Structure, which they describe as a “creative tool on Instagram that brings out details and textures.” Structure will be available today on Android with an update to the main Instagram app on Android, and is ‘coming soon’ to iOS.
