Instagram will launch this week an official app designed for the Apple Watch. The information is from the Financial Times, for whom the team of developers was interviewed. The smartwatch, whose online sales will begin this Friday (24), will make his debut with the presence of weight applications like Twitter, Flipboard and Evernote, among others.
According to the report, the development team faced difficulties in adapting Instagram to a device with such a small screen. The task was further complicated because they did not have the Apple Watch and were forced to design the prototype from an iPhone.
As a result, the app was built to brief interactions. Users will receive notifications of new images only few people who follow. The idea is that enter and exit the app is all a matter of seconds, as explained by the designer Ian Silber.
