Instagrammers can now share multiple photos in portrait or landscape formats
Albums no more have to have photos in the old, square format
August 30, 2017
Instagram has gone a step forward in its album option by letting users fit their photos in either landscape or portrait form instead of cropping it to the square format.
According to Techweez, the company says users can now upload photos and videos in albums in either landscape or portraits format. But the photos and videos in a single album should be in the same format. That is to say, if one chooses to share photos of an event, they have the option to share the entire set in one of the modes — portrait or landscape — but not a mixture of both.
Besides, Instagram also allows these albums to be saved as drafts if the user is not ready to share them.
The new update is available as version 12 for iOS and Android.
Recently, Instagram had introduced the option on uploading 10 photos in a single post, saving the users from bombarding their profile and their follower’s timeline with photos, usually of the same event. However, the only disadvantage was that the photos had to be cropped to the square format.
