Instagram is testing vertical profile grids — and is aware of which may mess up layouts

We’re really testing a vertical grid, for these of you who haven’t seen it but, on your profile, as an alternative of squares. Now, squares are from manner again within the day when you possibly can solely add sq. pictures to Instagram. I do know this may be annoying for a few of you who actually spent a number of time curating and ensuring every thing strains up, however I would love to do higher by the content material at present. The overwhelming majority of what’s uploaded to Instagram at present is vertical. It’s both 4 by 3 in a photograph or 9 by 16 in a video, and cropping it right down to sq. is fairly brutal. So, I’m hoping we will work out a strategy to handle this transition.
