Post photos on Instagram without cutting them
Let's start this discussion by looking more closely how to post photos on instagram without cutting them. In the next few lines I will explain how to proceed in this sense both for the posts and the contents of the Stories.
Post
As regards the post, to post photos without them being cropped, you must first start the Instagram app on your Android or iOS device and log into your account (if you haven't already). Then you have to tap on the symbol capacitor positive (+) lead located at the bottom of the screen (in the center) and press the tab Gallery/library.
At this point, select the miniature of the photo you want to upload and press the symbol <> present on the left, in such a way as to resize the image and view it in its entirety: if the photo is vertical, white bands will appear on the right and left sides of the latter; if the photo is horizontal, however, white bands will appear above and below it. As you can imagine, using the setting in question, the photo will be published on the Instagram feed in its entirety, without undergoing any cropping or resizing.
To proceed with its publication, tap on the item NEXT at the top right, if you want to modify and edit the photo select one of the many filters available on the social network, press again on the item NEXT always placed at the top right e write a caption in the appropriate text field to describe the content you are posting, perhaps using hashtags that can increase its visibility.
Before publishing the photo, decide whether to tag other users using the function Tag people and / or add the position relative to the image to be published using the function add location. Always from the same screen, choose whether to publish the photo also on other social networks (eg. Facebook, Twitter o Tumblr) by moving the corresponding levers to ON and finally, press on the item Share at the top right to post the photo on Instagram without cutting it.

Stories
If you want post photos on Instagram Stories without cutting them, know that the operation you have to perform is not at all complicated to complete. Before explaining how to do this, however, I want to clarify that the operation in question can only be performed for photos taken in landscape mode, as those taken in portrait mode are not cropped (they are published by default in full screen).
To proceed, first start the Instagram app on your Android or iOS device, log into your account (if you haven't done so yet), tap thelittle man located at the bottom right and presses the blue button capacitor positive (+) lead located on your profilo's photo (top left).
At this point, in the screen that opens, presses on thumbnail of the last photo taken which is on the right (on Android) or in the lower left corner (on iOS) and select a photo that you know you have taken in landscape mode, by tapping on its miniature.
As you can see, the horizontal photo you selected has been automatically enlarged (and, therefore, also cropped). To show it in full, you need to make it smaller by doing one Zoom out: place two fingers on the image and then close them. At this point the photo should be displayed in full: as soon as you are ready to do it, tap the button The tua storia to post the content in the Instagram Story and that's it.
