According to the latest report, Instagram is going to increase the size of the photo in the app. The company is going to start testing the ultra-tall 9:16 ratio for photos in the next week or two.

Instagram is a photo and video sharing app. Users use this app not only to share photos but also to create reels. The company keeps on making changes in it every day to make the experience of the users better than before. Under this, Instagram is going to make the biggest change so far. According to reports, Instagram is going to promote full-screen content. In a program, Instagram CEO Adam Mosseri has confirmed that the app is going to start testing the ultra-tall 9:16 ratio for photos in the next week or two. This means that now only photos will be shared on Instagram in full-screen size.
Photos will also cover the entire screen
The CEO of Instagram said in a weekly program Ask Me Anything, “You can watch long (full screen) videos on Instagram, but you cannot see long (full screen) photos. That's why we thought that we should treat both of them equally." These words of Mosseri are taken from the report of The Verge. If this happens, you will now see full-screen photos with a 9:16 ratio while scrolling through the Instagram feed.
Photographers protested
Some photographers have opposed this decision of Instagram. He believes that Instagram is following in the footsteps of Tik-Tok like this. After the full-screen feature comes, every photo will have to be forced into the 9:16 mold. This will affect the quality of the photo. At the same time, due to the overlay in the news feed, the text will appear on the posted photo. Due to which the appearance of the photo will be spoiled.
New update not good for photo
Adam Mosseri, citing Instagram's redesign test users, admits that the full-screen feature is less useful for photos. According to Mosseri, Instagram still intends to showcase the ultra-tall photo experience without making it mandatory. At the same time, data from Instagram shows that due to the app redesign, users have reduced running Instagram.
