File Blast

Instagram revealed that the feature is coming to iOS today. It uses a simple pinch gesture, as you would expect, and works with video as well. It covers content on your feed, profiles and in Explore.

Instagram is finally adding more features to its platform for more serious photographers rather than just social media lovers. Multiple aspect ratios helped you share images as they were meant to be seen and opened up some creative opportunities, while zoom let’s you to see the full details of image or video.

Normally Android users will always wait for a while, the zoom in will arrive  for Android users “in the coming weeks.” No word on Windows support though.

In any case, it’s nice to see arguably the most basic of photo browsing features show up in Instagram, six years after it launched. Head on over to the iOS app store to see what the new features looks like.
