Instagram now supports photos with a 3:4 aspect ratio, allowing images to appear exactly as shot without cropping, aligning with most phone camera defaults. This update follows previous changes to profile grid shapes and caters to the trend of vertical and rectangular images.
A vulnerability in Google's photo-cropping tool, Markup, and Windows' photo-cropping utilities, Snipping Tool and Snip & Sketch, has been discovered that leaves data in a cropped image file that can be used to reconstruct some or all of the original image beyond the confines of the crop. The vulnerability is significant because users have been making and sharing cropped images that may still contain private or sensitive data. The vulnerability was discovered by security researcher Simon Aarons and fellow reverse engineer David Buchanan. Microsoft is investigating the issue, and Google has released a patch for its flagship Pixel smartphones.
