Reports: 2 deaths reported after possible tornado in Louisiana Weather News - April 02, 2017, 10:01:18 AM EDT Tornadoes and flash flooding will threaten Texas and the lower Mississippi Valley into Sunday night.
This past Friday, it appears, Instagram has started addressing that very issue, as photos sent to the popular image sharing app are now being stored in a higher 1080 x 1080 size. The higher-resolution pictures are not yet being displayed as such by Instagram, which maintains its smaller default for now.
What Size Photo Should You Upload to Instagram? The photos you upload should be at least 1080px on the shortest side. You can crop it to a square (or shoot it as square to start with) before you upload or crop it in the Instagram app when you go to post. But Instagram now supports rectangular images as well.
