Facebook launches Instagram-like photo app

Just one week after its controversial IPO, Facebook has launched a photo sharing app that is quite similar to its recent purchase Instagram.

Called Camera, the free iPhone app enables users to take multiple pictures and share them all in one go on Facebook. Instagram allows users to do the same but on other social networks like Twitter, Foursquare and Tumblr.

Both photo apps also have functions to add effects to photos.

Back in April, Facebook announced its $1bn acquisition of Instagram but the purchase is yet to be completed.
