It looks like Instagram is not done with experimenting with its app just yet even after making a ‘u-turn’ on its recommended posts change following criticisms from fans. Now, the social media platform is doubling-down on full-screen content in its bid to compete with TikTok, this time by introducing ultra-tall 9:16 photos.
Shared by its CEO Adam Mosseri during his weekly Ask Me Anything, he was responding to a direct question on the matter when revealing Instagram’s upcoming plan. One user asked him whether ‘large, full screen 9x16 photos’ are coming to the platform and Mosseri replied that the company has been thinking maybe it’s time to make sure that tall photos are treated equally as tall videos on the app.
He further asserted that Instagram will be testing ultra-tall 9:16 photos ‘in a week or two’. Hence, we may be getting such a feature as early as 15 August 2022, if not sooner.
