Instagram is no longer a photo sharing service just for squares. The company today announced that it will finally support portrait and landscape photos and videos with its latest updates on Android and iOS.

If you want to enjoy a YouTube video in fullscreen on Android, you have to watch it in landscape mode, which makes watching videos recorded in portrait an even more horrifying experience. But thanks to the app’s latest update, portrait videos are ever so slightly more bearable.

You’ve just unwrapped your new Nexus 7 and you’re all set to start playing, when you quickly realize your screen is stuck in portrait. Now you start freaking out: “Oh no, did I get a defective Nexus 7?!” “Why won’t this thing rotate?!” “Where’s the setting to make this thing rotate?!” Calm down, take a deep breath, and exhale. Your Nexus 7 isn’t broken and you’re not doomed to spend eternity in the land of portrait.
