"Square - The Legacy of Instagram": The social network is transforming the layout of profile grids.

Instagram is moving away from the traditional square profile grid in favor of a rectangular format. Adam Mosseri, the head of the platform, explains that this change is due to the fact that most content is uploaded in a vertical format.
