IGTV now with landscape mode
As IGTV started in summer 2018, you could only upload and watch videos in portrait format. Since this looks a bit strange on PCs and tablets, there is now a landscape mode.
Even at the start of Instagram's IGTV, many criticized the fact that this new platform was based on portrait format videos. Even if the smartphone has the advantage that you can hold the device in just one hand, this feature is rather impractical on tablets, laptops and PCs. Instagram heard now on this feedback and implemented the possibility to upload and enjoy videos in landscape format. This is the second biggest change since the premiere last year. I actually used IGTV very little myself, as the whole concept didn't really appeal to me at the time. Now I will definitely give the app a new chance.
