When you go to take a photo on Instagram, you’ll now see a movie camera icon. Tap it to enter video mode, where you can take up to fifteen seconds of video through the Instagram camera.

Another unique feature Instagram added is the “cinema” feature.  With Cinema a user can upload their videos from their phone and clean up the grainy quality.
