Instagram is testing a new profile grid layout featuring rectangular images instead of the traditional squares. Instagram head Adam Mosseri revealed in a story that the app is experimenting with a vertical grid, reflecting the shift to vertical uploads, like 4×3 photos and 9×16 videos. While the test has only been rolled out to a few users, the Instagram team will gather feedback before expanding it. This change, in development since 2022, has sparked mixed reactions, with some users expressing concern over the potential loss of the familiar square layout.
