Instagram now allows portrait, landscape photos in albums
Originally, users could only post square photos and videos when using the app's multi-upload album feature

MANILA, Philippines – Instagram’s album feature, which lets you share 10 or less photos and videos in a single post, is nifty but it also had one glaring weakness: users could only post photos as a square.

That means if you were posting a portrait or landscape photo, you had to let the app crop your photo, reposition the photo strategically, or use a third-party app to place the full photo on a square box.

With an Instagram update, that’s a thing of the past. As announced on Twitter, users will now be able to post portrait and landscape photos and videos, allowing the content to retain their original aspect ratio when they were taken. 


 

It’s a minor but welcome change that could increase the feature’s appeal, especially for those who thought that being forced to post your photos as a square was a little too creatively restrictive. 

The update is in the rollout phase, and will reach users over time. – Rappler.com
