Fourteen years after launch Instagram has fully moved away from squares
The next photo you post on Instagram can finally be completely unedited, as the app has been updated to support 3:4 images.
Most phone cameras take images in 3:4 by default, so this change will allow you to post photos without having to crop them a bit. Previously, the tallest photo you could post on the app was 4:5.
Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri announced the change on Threads, and most of the responses to that post have been positive, suggesting that people are happy with the change.
The photo-sharing app recently changed the aspect ratio of the grid of photos on each profile to 4:5, which should have probably aligned with this update since now posts and photos on the grid can match once again.
