Today we’re announcing two new additions to the Flickrverse. Photo Session, a whole new way to share photos with friends around the world and our first Flickr Android App, bringing you beautiful photo sharing on the go.

In-sync browsing with Photo Session

Photo Session lets you flip through photos with your friends from anywhere in the world.

Just create a Photo Session, invite your friends and browse photos together in real-time. When you move to the next photo it moves for everyone else too. While you’re all browsing, have fun chatting and drawing on your photos using the built-in tools.

It’s also available on your iPhone and iPad so you can flip through photos no matter where in the world your friends are.

Find out more on the Photo Session info page.

Official Flickr Android app

Our new Android app lets you take photos, enhance them with filters, and quickly send to Flickr, Facebook, Twitter and everywhere else you share photos. Browsing and navigating has been custom designed for Flickr to make use of maps, tags, and activity around your photos. You can stay up to date with the latest comments and activity on your photos and take advantage of gorgeous full screen browsing and slideshows. All straight from the app…

After you’ve downloaded the app make sure you join the Flickr Android App group to share photos, tips, and join the discussion.

If you have any questions or feedback let us know in the forum. We have topics for the Android App and Photosession.

We love to hear about your latest explorations into the Flickrverse. One of the places where we do this is @flickr on Twitter.

Yesterday, @megrosker shared a link to Swedish Aesthetic, a gallery featuring colorful and very creative Swedish playground designs and play structures. You can see some of them above, but be sure to visit the gallery for all photos curated by PlayGroundology.

Boland collections.

We invite you to explore all the National Library of Australia’s sets, and add relevant tags and comments to the photos to help describe the NLA’s public photo collection.
