Instagram, from being a specific service in photographs with a square format, which earned it this as a sign of identity, has switched to another type of app since it was bought by Facebook to integrate all kinds of features to finally focus on it. video. Is he video one of the central axes of many services and apps, so it was not surprising that he pulled this way.
It is now when he has announced that the pinch-to-zoom or pinch on screen to zoom in photos and videos to appreciate all the details if we wish. The only thing that happens is that this feature is already available for iOS and will soon be available on Android for the next few weeks. A date for arrival that could be next week or a few more.
The funny thing about this news is that this zoom is going to be done on images that are uploaded to Instagram at a resolution of 1080, so unless you don't get the uploaded photos uploaded, it won't really offer much benefit to users. The only thing that, if you are used to making this gesture in other image apps, now you will not be left as saying that on Instagram it does not work, since you will be able to appreciate those details that you want if you do the gesture.
Although where it is more difficult to understand the zoom is in the videos, since, being in a poor quality resolution, such as 640 x 480, zooming in a video that is already a little out of focus, can become a undesirable experience. What can open the door for Instagram to allow the uploading of images and videos with a higher resolution so that this feature is more interesting to use.
