It's not you. It is not the camera of your mobile. It's your Instagram app, which is badly programmed. Especially if you use it from a mobile with Android operating system. And it is that adapting to so many models, components and needs has forced Instagram engineers to cut qualities of the application. Or, rather, the way in which he treats our photos and videos in Instagram Stories. Something that translates into slower videos, with jumps and less definitionAnd in photos that don't look as good when taken on Instagram than when you take them with your mobile's camera application. But there is a solution to all this.
And, thanks to Instagram updates and improvements, some people have already discovered how to bypass these application restrictions Those that They lower the quality of your content so that all mobiles have a similar quality or possibilities on the same social network. In this way, you should not be surprised to see more agile videos in the stories of accounts that you follow. Or to see static photos with more definition and detail without coming from an iPhone mobile. As? As simple as that.
Upload your photos from the gallery
The trick to bypass this limitation lies within Instagram itself. And it seems that they have allowed users to upload unmodified content from their gallery.So it's as easy as create your content before posting it to Instagram Stories Yes, this introduces other creative limitations. But the qualitative leap is most notable.
All you have to do is open your mobile camera and record a video of 15 seconds or more. Or take a selfie. Or take a portrait with the rear camera. The question is that you use the standard application of your mobile, where, in addition, you can apply the best graphic qualities to get the best result: record in 4K at 60 frames per second , use the highest resolution of your camera, etc. Create content as if it were Instagram Stories, but from the camera.
Then go to Instagram Stories, but don't use the button to record or take photos. Instead, swipe up from the bottom. This will display the recent gallery of your mobile, where the latest photos and videos you have taken with the camera should be.Keep in mind that, in the drop-down menu in the upper left corner, you can choose different folders on your mobile to find the photos and videos you want to publish in better resolution.
And ready. From here you can select the content you want to publish. If it is a video of more than 15 seconds, Instagram is in charge of automating the cuts in up to four sections. That is, cut the video too long into four stories to post them in a row. If it's a photo, Instagram keeps the format and aspect ratio of the capture. That is, if it is horizontal, you will see that Instagram colors the story with the predominant color in the photo, but does not fill it. In this case, what you can do is expand the size with your fingers to fill all the space Although that will mean clipping the content. This way it will look like a photo taken directly on Instagram Stories, but with higher quality and detail.
Limitations of this cheat
Obviously not all is well when using this trick. As we say, the photos are not usually framed in the same way unless we take them in vertical format. And even so, it is possible that the maximum resolution and format of our camera does not match that of Instagram. Something that forces us to invest time in accommodating the size of the photo. But Worst of all, we will run out of most of the masks and filters of the moment
In favor, in addition to quality, there is the possibility of adding GIF, writing, drawing and applying stickers. Qualities that can be used in previously recorded content.
