One in five Instagram users now combine their photos into a single image before uploading it to the app . To capitalise on this , the Californian firm has launched its latest standalone app called Layout that lets people create such collages with up to nine images and 11 combinations . Photos can be selected from the phone 's camera roll , or taken with the Photo Booth tool , and Layouts can then be 'remixed ' and edited with mirror effects and flips . Instagram has launched a photo collage app called Layout . Users begin by selecting as many images , up to the maximum of nine , to feature in the collage ( pictured left ) . As they add more images the layout of the collage changes and photos can be dragged between sections and different sized boxes as desired ( right ) It is branded in the same way as Instagram 's other standalone timelapse app , Hyperlapse . The Layout app has four main features called Faces , Mirroring , Photo Booth and Previews . Users begin by selecting as many images , up to the maximum of nine , to feature in the collage . Photos can be selected or deselected at any point . As they add more images , the layout of the collage changes and photos can be dragged between sections and different sized boxes as desired . Pictures can be chosen from a phone 's camera roll , or users can use the Photo Booth feature to set a timer and capture photos . There are a number of different tools which allow users to 'remix ' their layout including mirror effects , flip , pinch to zoom , and rotate . The Faces tab scans all the photos in a user 's camera roll and only shows those containing people . Once the Layout is complete it can be shared to Instagram or Facebook , or saved to their camera roll to be shared elsewhere . These photos can then be zoomed , flipped to form a mirror image , or turned upside down . Instagram said that of the collages already uploaded to the app , 90 per cent of these contain faces . The app has therefore added a Faces tab that scans all the photos in the user 's camera roll to show those in which it detects a face . Importantly though , this is facial detection and not facial recognition and the app ca n't identify people in the photos . Meanwhile , the Photo Booth feature acts in the same way as a standard photo booth . Once the shutter is pressed the app takes four photos , a few seconds apart , using the front-facing camera . All collages can be previewed and saved , or they can be uploaded to Instagram or Facebook . The Layout app has four main features called Faces , Mirroring , Photo Booth and Previews .
