Bluesky Takes a Step Up in Photo-Sharing
The latest update to Bluesky's app brings significant improvements to image quality and user experience.
Bluesky has released an updated version of its app (version 1.121), which boosts the quality of images in posts both in terms of upload size and resolution. The new limit for photo uploads has doubled to 2MB, allowing users to share higher-quality images with their followers. Additionally, photos will now render at up to 4000px, a significant increase from the previous limit of 2000x.
The update also introduces a new swipeable carousel, which can handle mixed aspect ratios without cropping. This feature, inspired by other social networks like X and Meta's Threads, provides a more dynamic and engaging way for users to share their photos.
While some users have expressed a preference for the choice between posting as a grid or carousel, the new feature is sure to make Bluesky's app more competitive in the social media landscape. As the company continues to innovate and improve its platform, it will be interesting to see how users respond to these changes.
