What Is This?! The Instagram Update Despair Edition

Since the 17th, Instagram has been rolling out a global app update, and the most notable change is the shift from the traditional square feed ratio to a 3:4 rectangular format. This update quickly became a hot topic over the weekend, but the majority of reactions have been negative.

While some images became memes online, sparking laughter, it’s hard not to sympathize with the frustration of those managing these feeds.
