Flickr iOS app gets even slicker with new features and update

Yahoo has been making all kinds of awesome changes to its Flickr app in recent months and today it’s unveiled another new upgrade, incorporating better tagging and notification features, faster uploading and much more.

Today’s latest update means that users can easily save photos from their photo stream directly to their camera roll, upload their images much faster than ever before, automatically save the original, pre-filter photo to your camera roll, quickly tag your contacts in comments and enjoy a higher resolution lightbox photo display.

When Instagram screwed up its terms and conditions many were left looking for a cool, photo editing and sharing alternative and turned to Flickr. This latest set of updates means that we won’t be surprised when more and more start migrating away from Instagram and straight into the arms of Flickr and Yahoo.

If you haven’t downloaded it already, you can get Flickr from iTunes for free.
