Instagram might have halted its controversial redesign<\/a>, but that doesn\u2019t mean the company plans to stop focusing on full-screen content. During his weekly Ask Me Anything today, CEO Adam Mosseri confirmed that Instagram will begin testing ultra-tall 9:16 photos \u201cin a week or two.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cYou can have tall videos<\/a>, but you cannot have tall photos on Instagram,\u201d Mosseri said. \u201cSo we thought maybe we should make sure that we treat both equally.\u201d Currently, Instagram tops out around 4:5 when displaying vertical images that\u2019ve been cropped accordingly. But introducing support for slimmer, taller 9:16 photos will help them fill the entire screen as you scroll through the app\u2019s feed.<\/p>\n

Instagram\u2019s TikTok-like redesign was criticized by some photographers for the way it forced all photos to awkwardly display in a 9:16 frame. The new feed also added overlay gradients to the bottom of posts so that text would be easier to read. But that clashed with the original appearance of photographers\u2019 work. Here\u2019s a great look at that initial experiment<\/a> courtesy of Thomas Fitzgerald. <\/p>\n

During the course of Instagram\u2019s shaky redesign test with users, Mosseri admitted more than once that the full-screen experience was less than ideal for photos. Now we\u2019re seeing that Instagram very much still intends to showcase that ultra-tall photo experience \u2014 but without mandating it across the board. <\/p>\n

The company\u2019s own data showed that Instagram\u2019s overhauled design was so disliked by some people that they began using the app less frequently. \u201cI think that we need to take a big step back, regroup, and figure out how we want to move forward,\u201d he said in an interview last week. Instagram has also said it will reduce the amount of recommendations being shown to users until it\u2019s better at selecting content they\u2019ll actually enjoy. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
