Back when Instagram first launched, users were restricted to uploading photos in a square format due to the app’s layout limitations. Nowadays, users have the freedom to share photos in portrait, landscape, or stick to the original square layout, thanks to the app’s continuous updates offering more control over sharing preferences. However, you might have observed that despite the option to share photos in different formats, they still appear in a square format on your grid and require a full opening to view the entire image. We’ve all experienced it – uploading photos to Instagram only to find them cropped, potentially cutting out friends and family. It’s frustrating, and if you’re wondering why Instagram crops your photos, read on to find out!
