You Can Now Zoom in on Instagram Pictures

One of the most requested features for Instagram has finally arrived: starting today, iOS users can now pinch-to-zoom on IG photos and videos. The Android update will come along in a few weeks.

The new update follows a series of big changes for Instagram over the past few months: between the introduction of landscape and profile aspect rations, their controversial logo change, and the addition of “Instagram Stories,” it seems logical that the app has added a feature users have actually been asking for since the start.

The update is sure to make many users very happy, and perhaps a few very unhappy when they accidentally “like” a photo while trying to zoom.

Watch Instagram demonstrate the new feature in the post below.
