Personally, I still do not believe in it! I’ve been on Instagram for more than three years, and I, like all old-timers, are already very used to square photos, After all, this is part of the ideology of the application itself! But the developers decided finally, that the choice of publication form is the user’s business. And with you can’t argue with this, because the number of them is growing every day, and lovers of the Polaroid style are not as many as before.

To send to Instagram a rectangular uncut photo (vertical or horizontal) when you select a photo, just click on the button on the left in the form of a circle with two by arrows.
