Instagram released its now iOS 5.0.6 version this week and announced some new changes and improvements to the application that are supposed to speed things up and repair bugs.

"Now, when you tap the Lux (sunburst) icon in the photo edit screen, you'll see a slider that lets you adjust the intensity of the effect," Instagram said in a post. "Slide to the right to increase the contrast and saturation in your photo or slide left for softer tones. Instagram version 5.0.6 is available for download today in the Apple App Store."

Perhaps the most interesting part about Instagram's post was how it mentioned the update was available exclusively on the Apple store, which would leave out Android users. However, the Android update was announced on Tuesday but Instagram had a completely different message for those users.

"Today, we're excited to announce improvements to the way Instagram for Android looks and feels," the app said in the latest post on Tuesday. "Since first launching Instagram for Android in April of 2012, we've come to support thousands of different Android devices of all shapes and sizes. In taking time to polish our designs, we've worked to make sure that Instagram feels native and at home on any Android device. These changes mean a faster, more responsive app. Your profile screen now loads twice as fast, and we've cut the overall app size in half to increase speed throughout Instagram."

"It's the same Instagram for Android you know and love-faster, cleaner and easier to use than ever," the note continued. "Instagram for Android version 5.1 is available today on Google Play."
