A lot of Instagrammers were waiting for this feature for a long time. No matter what is the original size of your photo, now you are able to post non-square photos. This option opens up new opportunities for photographers, bloggers and others.
On the other hand, the chaos came in any grid with embed Instagram where pictures with different size proportions are displayed.

More freedom for posting – more chaos in your Instagram feed. The new issue appeared. It refers to the outlay of photos in a grid presented in Instagram widgets and plugins. For now, images have different sizes and they are displayed in different proportions that’s why the feed can look terrible on a website.
We’ve noticed that a lot of users of social plugins faced this problem on their websites. It also applied to our WordPress Gallery InstaShow. Below we present the screenshot of usual feed with non-square photos.
