MADRID, 8 Ago. (Portaltic/EP) –
Instagram has confirmed that it will start displaying vertical photos posted on the social network with a 16:9 aspect ratio and full screen, instead of the usual 4:5, “in a week or two.”
The platform began to consider certain changes in its design a few weeks ago, when it announced that it would focus its strategy on ‘reels’ instead of continuing with its usual commitment to static ‘feed’ publications.
However, at the end of July, the social network owned by Meta stopped testing the redesign of its ‘app’, which contemplated changes such as a full-screen ‘feed’ or the transition of all videos on the platform to the ‘reels’ format after receiving criticism from its users.
Now the CEO of Instagram, Adam Mosserihas confirmed in his personal profile and in a session of ‘Ask me anything’where he answers questions from users of the platform, which maintains its commitment to prioritizing full-screen content.

Specifically, the vertical photographs published on the social network will be those that are shown with an aspect ratio of 16:9, instead of the usual 4:5. This change implies that these images will adopt the same size as the Stories or ‘Reels’, which maintain characteristics similar to those of TikTok.
Mosseri has advanced that the change will begin to reach users of the social network “in one or two weeks”, as stated The Verge. Likewise, he has recalled that, because the platform already supports videos in that format, he seeks to offer a deal with this change “egalitarian” to the photographs.
