It seems that today is something normal, but until not so long ago you could not zoom in Instagram photos. If you wanted to enlarge the image you had to take a screenshot and zoom in on it, which meant a very important loss in terms of quality. Today is something that exists natively in the app, but, unfortunately, only in the photos of the timeline. Stories, for now, cannot be extended. Or if. In this article, we're going to show you how to zoom into Instagram stories.

When you activate it, all you have to do is press three times in a row on the screen.

Now you just have to go to Instagram, click on the icons of the stories and touch the screen three times when you see an image or video that you want to enlarge. If you want to zoom in you can pinch in or out without any problem, as if it were an image of the gallery. To move around the image, hold the screen with two fingers and slide. To exit the enlargement mode just tap another three times or press the back button.
