Instagram have recently spooked plenty of its users because of the changes on their terms of services. I don't own an Android or iOS powered devices and I haven't read Instagram's changes on their terms of service. But for the sake of the people who wanted to use a different service with filters and photo editing options, I am going to list some of the available applications online that you guys can install on your devices as an alternative to Instagram. For the information of everybody, Kevin Systrom, the chief executive and co-founder of Instagram announced that users still own the rights of their photos and the photos itself, users will have the same amount of privacy they experienced even before the terms of service has been change and he made sure that the photos uploaded by the users on Instagram will not be seen in any advertisement. The new agreement will take effect on January 16, 2013.

Before you shift to a different service, I suggest you make a backup of your photos first by downloading them or checking on Instaport or Instarchive. Both services link to the user's Instagram account and will be giving them an option to download a compact file of their photos.

A lot of services are available online that provide the same aspect as Instagram. Yahoo's Flickr can let you share your photos to your close network and add filter on it. Google's Snapseed has a broad editing options that includes filter before you can share it to Google+, Twitter and Facebook. Hipstamatic, Pixlr-o-matic and Camera+ are available online and can be used to both iOS and Android devices. The latter 3 are all independent application and has an Instagram aspect. For all Nokia Symbian users, since the platform is  dying, these applications won't be available for download but still, we can have an Instagram-like application installed in our mobile phone, it's called Molome. Molome is also available for iOS, Blackberry, Android, Windows and Symbian.

 Just to inform you all that if you would delete your Instagram account, there's no way for you to reactivate it meaning all your connections and photos will be gone.
