Good news, Insta fans!

Starting today, you can pinch to zoom on photos and videos in feed, on profiles and on Explore. Dive into an adorable puppy’s smile or into every detail of your friend’s new shirt. Over the past six months, you’ve seen many exciting changes come to Instagram, from a new icon to longer videos and even a new way to share everyday moments with Instagram Stories. And as things change, we’re still focused on improving the core parts of Instagram. Zoom is available today for Instagram on iOS. Zoom will be available on Android in the coming weeks.

As of Wednesday, the social media platform released a “Zoom” feature so iOS users can enlarge Instagram photos or videos (except for Instagram stories) with just a pinch of their fingers.

The change isn’t yet available to Android users, but it should be rolling out in the next coming weeks.
