Oh, happy day! For those of you sick and tired of always having to format your selfies in a square, or using a third party app to crop that landscape shot, Instagram has (finally) heard your plea. You can now upload horizontal and vertical images directly to your feed.
The Facebook-owned company announced Thursday morning via their official blog that the platform now supports un-squared photos as well as uncropped videos.
"We’re especially excited about what this update means for video on Instagram, which in widescreen can be more cinematic than ever," Instagram said in a statement.
What does this mean for the company as a whole? Not sure. What does this mean for us? End to end Golden Gate Bridge shots, duh. Farewell to the square days of yore. You won't be missed.
