How to zoom in/out photos in Instagram for Android [Tip]

Instagram usually allow its users to upload and apply a wide range of filters to their photos. However, like videos, you can’t do more than just view the photo in its default squared size. You can’t rotate the photo, you can’t save it locally and you can’t even zoom it in or out for a change of view.

The good thing is if you have Instagram on Android, you can use a third-party app to zoom in or zoom out photos in the easiest way possible.

How to zoom in/out photos in Instagram for Android

  • First, you need to download and install a free app from the Play Store called “Zoomagram”.
  • After installing Zoomagram, open it and then switch it “ON”.

It’s as simple as that.
