Instagram v7.5 is now available on iOS and Android. Users will now be able to upload their photos and videos in portrait and landscape orientations. A sample image has been posted above.
Instagram will no longer auto crop your shared pictures and videos to make them fit inside the square format. From now on, the size/orientation of an image or video will remain the exact same as when originally taken. Pictures won’t be cramped anymore, your friends won’t get cut out of selfies and you can even share full size panoramas and wide-screen videos.
A new format icon will appear when uploading a picture or video allowing users to adjust the orientation as needed. In addition, when your friends see your recent activity they will see the media the same as you do, meaning it takes effect on both ends. But that’s not all! Instagram will include a new feature letting users adjust the intensity of filters right within the app. Best of all, not only does this work for your photos, but also your videos. These enhancements will be a welcome improvement and will make your story even more dramatic and appealing to the eye.
