For all of you photo aficionados, Instagram busted out a great big up-cycle to the way embedded photos and videos are going to look on the web. They’re going to be bigger, better, faster, stronger, able to leap tall piles of data in a single bound… Well, not so much, but they will be larger. The display will be super clean, chic even, with a narrower bezel for the frame and a Follow button hovering lovingly above the image.
What does that mean for you? I’m so glad you asked. That sweet little follow button will make it much easier for viewers to follow your epic and engaging Insta Account.
The move to feature larger photos is a smart one for Instagram. Publishers that embed photos on websites or articles, will most likely be drawn to the new flash shiny pretty things, and thus more inclined to embed Instagram photos. That means if you have photos embedded in your blogs or stories it will be that much easier to build your tribe.
Now for the meh, news. As with most changes, there may be a small window of time right after the launch when embeds could get glitchy. If your mobile users want to follow another account with the Fabulous Button the Follows they have to be logged into the app and the mobile desktop page. Otherwise they’re just going to have to do their following the ole fashion way.
