Google and Meta are partnering to significantly improve Instagram's video and photo quality on Android devices, aiming to close the gap with iPhones. This collaboration will integrate advanced camera features directly into the Instagram app on flagship Android phones starting with Android 17.

• Key features being integrated include Ultra HDR capture, hardware-level video stabilisation, and Google's Night Sight for low-light photography.
• The partnership involves Google, Meta (Instagram's parent company), and will benefit users of flagship Android phones.
• Google claims Android 17 will offer "the same or better" quality than the "leading competitor," though this claim is based on Google's internal metrics and awaits independent verification.
