ust to make a comparison, here’s the same feed post before the update: You can see the square video, possible reactions france companies email list available to you (like, comment, share or save), the subtitles, comments, and the next post already appearing, just waiting for you to scroll. It looks a lot more fitting than in the old layout, doesn’t it? Old layout: a social network that supports content in different formats, and they coexist well within the feed. New layout: it’s meant to be a platform for vertically recorded videos… but it accepts posting images and other formats.
But, even so, everything that isn’t vertical looks weird on the platform, like it doesn’t belong there. And well, this is a problem. At least today (and even with the feed update), Instagram does not allow image posting in the feed with a 1080×1920 pixels aspect ratio (the same aspect ratio as reels and stories). The maximum vertical format allowed for images, for now, is 1080x1350px. Maybe, when the feed change gets to everybody, Instagram will allow new proportions for images. Or, maybe, they really don’t want us to post photos and cards anymore, so they’ll just keep the weirdness of everything, other than vertical videos.
