Twitter Changes the Way You Process Shared Images

Twitter will no longer reduce the quality of images shared in JPEG format. Prior to this change, JPEGs were converted to JFIF quality with 85% protection. Therefore, there was a significant decrease in the quality of the visuals. This update will delight users who are particularly sensitive to the quality of photos. Images with a file size of more than 5 MB or more than 4096 pixels will still be converted and lost in quality. Even images that are rotated or changed to change direction will also be converted.

Instagram Prepares to Publish Group Stories

Instagram Stories is one of the features that users love to use on the platform. Instagram continues to add new features to increase the use of Stories. With the latest added feature, users can now gather their friends in a group and share special stories for them.
