Flickr Updates iOS App – Now Include ‘Add Photos to Groups’
Many of you will be so relieved that Flickr have updated their iOS Photography app again. The previous version, updated on April 17th 2014, did not include the facility to add photos to groups – a feature that had been there originally.

Fortunately this has now been rectified, in order to add photos to groups, select the image, tap the share arrow and then tap ‘add to group’. Stability fixes have also been run through this update.
