Instagram is now redirecting efforts toward still images. Adam Mosseri has announced a new testing phase for 9:16 portrait images.
Mosseri revealed the new test during an AMA session, where he said the service currently supports “tall videos, but you cannot have tall photos on Instagram. “So we thought maybe we should make sure that we treat both equally.” As he points out, the app has so far limited portrait images to a maximum ratio of 8:10, cropping portrait images into an almost square-like format, but the new 9:16 support will give photographers or even bloggers much more room for creativity.
The process will begin in one-two weeks.
Following heavy criticism Instagram recently rolled back a recently released version of its app that featured full-screen videos.
Two weeks ago, Mark Zuckerberg (Meta CEO ), announced that the company will be pushing more content from recommended accounts on Facebook and Instagram by the end of 2023.
AI finds additional content that people find interesting, that increases engagement and the quality of our feeds,”
Zuckerberg said.
