Instagram users for Android have a big update coming their way, as the company announced Tuesday that the redesigned Instagram 5.1 for Android cuts loading times in half. The boost in speed, according to the company, is the result of cleaning up the app’s design — it’s half as large as Instagram 5.0. The smaller package and sleeker design also help with Instagram’s accessibility — a lighter app means better performance on lower-end phones.
