How to use Pinch to Zoom feature for Instagram Stories

Recently, Instagram has started rolling out pinch-to-zoom support in its iOS app, that allows the users to zoom in on both photos and videos in the main feed, profile pages and on the Explore tab. The extra room will be filled with a custom color gradient that matches what you’ve shared. The feature has already started rolling out to Instagram for iOS as a part of the v9.2 update. However, this Zoom feature will be available on Android in the coming weeks, as per the company.

Facebook acquired Instagram has tweeted in their official account saying,"Today we’re bringing ZOOM to Instagram on iOS! Pinch to zoom on photos & videos in feed, on profiles and on Explore,”. Moreover, the app got updates that allows the users to zoom in while recording videos and switch between the front- and rear-facing cameras easily.

Apart from the Pinch and Zoom feature, Instagram iOS update also brings a new low-light button 'Stories’ feature. This button becomes active when the user is capturing images and videos in low-light conditions. When the button is tapped, it improves the lighting conditions accordingly.

A few weeks back, Instagram collaborated with GIPHY allowing the users to GIF stickers on their stories. The GIF stickers will be available as part of version 29 on Android and iOS. The company is set to roll out another update in the upcoming days where users can upload photos and videos "of any size" into a story.

Talking about the GIF's, if you want to find text-based GIFs, look for "word art." In case, if you are searching for 'effects', it will provide sparkles and fireworks. Also, you can search for 'accessories", which will pull up bunny ears, lip-licking mouths, wagging tongues, and others, you can use on the faces.
