That’s right, Tumblr’s latest iOS update is here bringing even more blogging goodness to your iPhone or iPad.

The update also brings a bunch of other interesting new features: you can submit to submission-only blogs on the go, create secondary blogs, filter searches by post type and also create a video post from a URL.
