Currently Instagram launched independent photo collage Layout. Instagram before launching the Hyperlapse similar to Layout split Instagram core application.

Currently the app only provides iOS version, while the Android version will be launched in the next few months. After starting the Layout, it will directly open the pictures library. Most third-party applications will first ask the user to select the tile mode, then select the photo, and Instagram team feels that this is not the right way. Layout requires the user to first select the photo, and the user can select up to 9 photos.
