We're back in the office, and it's time for another super important quick Instagram update. This one is quite a game changer so pay attention!
Instagram Key Quality Updates for January:
?? Square Images are Gone:
Instagram transitioned away from square images, replacing them with the 4:5 aspect ratio grid. If you've posted square photos, they will be stretched out and not appear as intended!
?? Photo Views:
Just like video views visible to anyone who visits your profile, photo views will now be visible. You can hide these stats in your profile settings if you don't want anyone to see them!
?? Highlights Tab:
Say goodbye to the highlight icons above your grid! Highlights are officially moving to a dedicated tab on your profile, just like Reels.
?? Profile Zoom
Finally, the most requested feature (according to the nerds in the nifty office..) has arrived. You can now zoom in on the profile image of any user, even if they have a private account. Goodbye privacy!
?? Message Scheduling
Planning your messaging has now gone to the next level. You can schedule messages and follow-up queries right in Instagram DM's, great for following up without feeling too much like a stalker!
