Instagram has announced that now in addition to its distinct square image posts, users can now share photos and videos in both portrait and landscape orientation on the platform, further blurring the lines between the increasingly homogeneous established social media services. This also allows users to upload more cinematic widescreen video, which is good news for film and TV marketing teams.
@StarWars is the first onboard, having released an exclusive look at the upcoming film The Force Awakens using Instagram’s new landscape orientation.
