Until you mess up with the camera settings of your smartphone, it is very likely that you snap photos in 3: 4 (or 4: 3 if you are holding the phone in landscape). This aspect ratio is a default for most smartphone cameras, which means our photo libraries are full Images are that all fit this frame.
The issue is that despite the location of the smartphone as the world’s most popular camera, not all social media platforms respect the 3: 4 aspect ratio. For example, Instagram supports its classic class 1: 1 images, as well as 4: 5 aspect ratio, but 3: 4 not. At first glance, 4: 5 looks like 3: 4 – so much, you would never have seen the difference when uploading your photos. But the rest of the assurance, the 3: 4 photos uploaded in the 4: 5 aspect ratio of the Instagram, cropping to match the frame, which means that you lose a little above and below each photo posted in this way.
If you pinch the preview of your post to zoom out, you will reveal the parts of your image that are not making the final cut. You can move the image up or bottom to reveal more from the top or bottom, but you will only cut the opposite end in the more way.
Instagram now supports 3: 4 images
Fortunately, it is changing now. In a post on threadsInstagram chief Adam Moseri announced that the app now supports 3: 4 uploads. The reception seems to be largely positive, although some users clearly want more than Instagram – that is, 2: 3 support, a popular aspect ratio with photographers.
Instagram also announced news on this Manufacturer broadcast channelThe post confirms that the change applies to both single-photo posts as well as Hindola collections, and that you can still share 1: 1 and 4: 5 images. The company attached an example, compared two separate Instagram posts – one that posts an image in 4: 5, and another one who posts the same image in 3: 4, with dotted lines shows that the image will be cropped in 4: 5.

Changes for all Instagram users are now getting out, but you can not see it immediately. My Instagram app still manifes up by 4: 5, even after being updated in the latest version on iOS.
It is important to note that 4: 3 images, as well as other landscape or horizontal aspect ratio, are supported on Instagram. In theory, you could flip your 3: 4 images to post the entire photo, but you would have forced your friends to see your phone (or head).
