Pictures in instagram story appear very zoomed in on iPhone 14 Pro Whenever I see a story posted an Android user, the pictures in the story appear very zoomed in on iPhone 14 Pro. I tried updating my app, re-installing it, updating my software and everything. Yet the story will always appear zoomed in if it's a picture. If it's a video, it is zoomed in for a second before zooming out itself. I don't know why this happens but it's very annoying. Can someone help me fix this issue?
