You can now zoom in on Instagram photos
Table of contents:
The application of Instagram has just (finally) introduced an improvement that many of us have been waiting for: the possibility of zooming in on photos and in the videos that are published on the social network. The update is slowly starting to roll out to all users: if you don't already have this feature in your app, you may have to wait a few hours to see it working. At the moment, the update is only available for iOS and at the moment the exact date of the arrival of zoom to Instagram is not known on Android
How to zoom in on Instagram photos and videos
The procedure to zoom in on the contents of Instagram is the same as for other photos you would have on your smartphone: bring two fingers together on the touch screen, at the specific point you want to zoom in or zoom in, and slightly spread your fingers by dragging them across the screen. Ready!
To return to the initial size, just bring your fingers together again by sliding them on the touch surface.
Time of changes on Instagram
Since Facebook bought Instagram, changes in the photography social network have been appearing more frequently than before, although not all have been well received by the user community.
Accustomed to the possibility of zooming in on images to see any detail in other social networks and applications, the possibility of zooming is one of the features that have been waiting the longestand that ”“for many”“ was a fundamental feature that should have been included in Instagram a long time ago.
Another option that users insisted on having was the possibility of managing several Instagram accounts from the official application itself, since for a long time it was necessary to use clones for the second and third accounts, which meant using up the storage space of the terminals in a rather absurd way. The other option (log out and enter with another account from the official application of Instagram) it was quite uncomfortable.
The introduction of multi-account management on Instagram brought an unwanted surprise in the early days: a security flaw that showed notifications from other accounts to people who shared access to a common account For example: two workers sharing access to the company's Instagram account could periodically receive notifications regarding the other person's personal account, posing a huge privacy issue.
But there is no doubt that the most controversial change within Instagram has been the introduction of hated algorithm that shows posts by relevance and not by chronological order: a strategy that Facebook has been applying for a long time in its social network and that has not been welcomed among the community of users of Instagram And there are real reasons for anger, because in Facebook the algorithm has screwed up one too many times: users complain that they can't see all the posts from their friends and family, and even fake or just morbid news quickly becomes relevant and viral regardless of its information quality. Will the same thing happen to photos and videos on Instagram?
