Facebook has announced Camera, a new standalone app for iPhone that enables Facebook users to post and share photos more easily. The new app should be available sometime Thursday, for free download from the App Store.

The app lets you see your friends and family’s photos as well, showing you albums and individual photos. You can use the app to share multiple photos instead of having to post them one at a time, adding captions and tagging them along the way. Tools let you crop, rotate and add filter effects to images.

The Facebook Camera app works independently of the Facebook Web site and the Facebook app for iOS.
