How to view Instagram in landscape mode on Android

Instagram is one of the most used Social networking platform used by people around the globe. It is one of the very few among the list that kept their usage level to the top ranks with time.

Instagram is a photo and video sharing tool where people share their everyday life with their friends in form of media. Unlike Facebook and other social media networks, it is a pretty simple tool and is more common among the models and stars. Every day millions of people are commenting and following new people on Instagram.

If you are reading this then you love to use Instagram as much as I do. So, in order to fulfill the love you need to use it to the fullest. Since it is a photo and video sharing app, you might want to interact in different orientations for more clarity and comfort. But there is a problem that you and I are aware of when it comes to orientations on Instagram. Most of the apps out there support your desired orientation(if your phone does). But Instagram on the other side is developed only to be used in Portrait mode.

Why Landscape Mode?

Portrait mode is perfectly fine for most of the users out there but sometimes you just need to be limitless. Moreover, you might want to view some photos/videos in Landscape mode on Instagram. But you are disappointed when you try to do that normally by rotating your phone because you are not able to (as mentioned above).

Now, if you are looking for a way to view Instagram in landscape mode on all Android devices then you are again in the right spot. Although there is no way to do that within the app, still we can use a simple method to make that possible. So, follow the steps given below and view Instagram in landscape mode with a third party app.
