Uploads from the Flickr app are much faster. A few seconds later the photo will be in your iPhone’s camera roll in the largest available resolution. Just tap the share icon on any of your photos and tap “Save Photo”. You can now download your own photos from Flickr to your camera roll. We will notify your friends that you mentioned them. Start by typing in the sign, and then simply select one of your Flickr contacts to mention them in a title, description or comment. You can now mention your friends right from the app. Read the Yahoo’s blog post on the update below: You can take photos using the iPhone’s volume up button.Higher-resolution photos are displayed in lightbox so you can zoom in more.Flickr photos are saved immediately to your iPhone camera roll.Photo uploads have been optimized to work faster.Mention and tag friends in a photo or post by using an sign.Download photos from Flickr straight to your camera roll.The new update includes the following additions:

But Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer clearly likes Flickr and has made sure the app has gotten some attention.

Flickr has struggled over the years to stay relevant, and the rise of Instagram hurt whatever chance it had of being the dominant mobile photo-sharing app.
