Your Instagram posts on Android are finally getting the glow up they deserve

• Google says Android 17 will bring a better Instagram experience to high-end Android devices.
• Instagram on Android will feature Ultra HDR, built-in stabilization, Night Sight integrations, and an optimized capture-to-upload pipeline.
• Instagram’s Edits app is getting Android-exclusive AI tools, including Smart Enhance and sound separation.

Flagship Android phones might have mind-bogglingly good cameras, but the fact remains that social apps haven’t always shown them at their best. Google is determined to offer its best to a social media generation, and says it has worked with Meta to bring a better Instagram experience to high-end Android devices.

Announced at Google I/O today and detailed in a Google blog post, the company frames the update as part of a wider creator-focused push for Android 17. It has teamed up with Meta to improve Instagram on its most advanced Android devices, including offering Ultra HDR capture and playback, built-in video stabilization, and Night Sight integrations.
