Photo-sharing service Flickr has finally delved into Android, with the launch of its first app on the platform. You’ll be able to browse photos in real-time with your friends through the new cross-platform Photo Session feature, add filters to photos before you share them and make use of several other Flickr features from within the app.

The Photo Session feature lets you browse through photos together with your friends. When you flick to the next photo in an album or photostream, your friends will automatically be moved on to the next photo as well. While you’re looking at photos, you can chat and draw on them with your friends using the app’s tools. The feature is available on the iPhone and iPad apps, as well as on the Web, so you’ll be able to view photos with your friends no matter which device they’re using.

The Android app also lets you add filters to your photos before uploading them and sharing them with your friends on Flickr, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and other sharing platforms. The app has been designed in a way to make it easy for you to view maps, tags and other activity surrounding your photos.

  

You can remain up to date with activity and comments on your photos, while you’ll be able to access slideshows from the app too. You can also geotag your photos (which can be geofenced with a cool privacy tool).

There are now more than 6 billion photos on Flickr and it was revealed earlier this year that the iPhone 4 was becoming the most popular camera among Flickr users.

You can check out the Flickr app by downloading it on your Android device now.
