Instagram totally kills own philosophyFrom the beginning, Instagram has only allowed you to upload square photos in a 1:1 ratio, and the same format was used for profile feed
Instagram has changed drastically during all this time, but the format of the square profile feed has remained unchanged, until now
So now, Instagram has started to consider showing preview posts in a more elongated 4:5 format, instead of 1:1In that format, photos that were uploaded in 4:5 ratio will be fully shown in the profile feed — good news for those who upload in that format (example of real profile)
More complicated will be for canonical square and 9:16 photos (about this later), the pics of these formats will be stretched and cropped respectively, luckily with this feature Instagram also gives the opportunity to choose the preview for photos, just as it is implemented for Video and Reels
Fatality will come for the lovers of a puzzle layout feed, because in this case, the whole integrity of the feed fucked up (last pic)
