Gone are the days of five Instagram posts in a row. With its most recent Android update, Instagram is debuting albums. Up to ten photos can be selected, filtered and posted as one swipe-through album. The feature is currently in a test stage with Instagram working out the kinks before it debuts and advertises the feature to the whole world.
