To ask how people fit their full size photos in Instagram?!

[ForFSake]

Not a first world problem I know and I'm not exactly on the ball when it comes to social media/ instagram but whenever I post a photo on it from my camera roll, it never seems to fit?

No one else seems to have this problem judging by their posts!

Your phone takes a rectangular photo but IG chops them down to square so you lose a little of the top and the bottom. If you have an iPhone you can take photo as a square to start with which will avoid it - it's one of the options on the scrolly thing at the bottom.

(Or you can take the photo whilst in the instagram app in the first place which will have the same effect)

When you choose a photo in IG just pinch zoom it out and the whole pic is then shown.

Just zoom out and the picture will be full size

When your selecting your photo on Instagram it will square it off to begin with, if you pinch zoom (pinch fingers together on screen) it will take it back to it's original ratio. Hope this helps.

I've tried that but then it seems to go bask to square again when I take my finger off to click 'next' or 'done' or whatever it is. Clearly more practising needed!

I generally upload to instagram from my phone album instead of using the instagram camera

if you do that then you get a small circle with two small arrows in, in the bottom left of your photo, if you touch that it gives you the whole photo, not the square crop.

Use Photogrid app in Instagram mode then upload from there.

I tend to take square photos now with Instagram in mind, my iPad gives me that option.
