There is a small update that Instagram rolled out, but it is of significant importance to users as the app now supports the standard aspect ratio of photos in the 3:4 format.
This aspect ratio is best known for being the standard format for most smartphone cameras, particularly iPhones, and with this, users no longer have to crop their images for uploading.
Instagram Rolls Out Support For Standard 3:4 Aspect Ratio
Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri has shared a new announcement via Threads that talked about the latest change in Instagram’s photo-sharing experiences, with the app now rolling out support for the 3:4 aspect ratio.
While this may not be that big of a deal for others, for avid Instagram uploaders, it makes a significant difference as it now allows the standard size to be shared directly on the app.
Previously, Instagram only accepted the square aspect ratio but later extended it to the 4:5 aspect ratio which offered more breathing room for smartphone photos.

Meta’s Instagram Updates, New Features Available
Meta and Instagram are fairly regular in releasing updates which bring new features and experiences for users. The company is recognized for its active involvement in the community. One of the most recent updates from Instagram is the upgrades added to direct messages (DMs), where users may now easily share music, use a built-in translation tool, and more.
Additionally, one of the most beloved features on TikTok and other video streaming platforms has also made its way to Instagram’s Reels, its vertical video experience. Users only need to long press on either side of the screen to activate the 2x speed feature for playing clips.
