A new update for Yahoo!’s photo sharing service, Flickr, on iOS introduces Auto Upload. Automatically uploaded photos are set to private at first unless you manually share them. Once you activated the feature, 25 of your most recent shots will be uploaded in full resolution. Afterwards, each new photo you take will be treated the same. Auto Upload works over data or Wi-Fi.

Another feature added to the app is Auto Straighten via the in-app editor. Bug fixes for Google sign-in problems are also included in the update.

Flickr iOS app gets update with new filters, camera tools; plus pro tools become free

Whether it can be considered keeping up with the mobile photography trends or just catching up, Yahoo! updates its Flickr photo app for iOS devices with new filters and camera tools as well as giving non-pro users access to tools that used to be exclusive to paid accounts.

Aside from adding new filters, Flickr also offers what is called “live” filters that you can use as you take photos and create custom filters with the app. The new camera tools include pinch to zoon, grids, focus lock, and better way to manage exposure points. And the premium features that are now free include photo enhancing, sharpening, cropping, adjusting color and use levels, and vignettes. No word yet if these features are going to be available on their Android app.
