Hello! Just checked my Instagram DMs for the umpteenth time today to discover that our grid suddenly no longer features squares and that all photos have been converted to portrait size.

    It’s definitely just in testing -- I have about 6 different Instagram accounts I manage, can only see the portrait photo feed on one of the accounts only. When I use Instagram through other profiles, they still display the usual grid with 1:1 photos.

    Most of my feed is video, so I’m seeing mostly portrait sized posts. It looks like most accounts I follow are using portrait sized images, as well, but there are a few square images still showing up in my feed. Portrait usually is usually my preference just so I can make use of the screen space.
