Twitter has presented a new surprise for users following the removal of the auto-cropping feature in platforms such as iOS and Android. This time, you can now view photos in their full-sized form as you peruse the timeline posts on the web. There's more to see for this recent update.
Full-Sized Photos In, Auto-Cropping Out
According to the latest report by The Verge, the recent update of the social media application can now allow web users to have an accurate preview of the image. Before, they find it awkward to see a particular image that is "oddly formatted."
As Twitter moves forward when it ditches the auto-cropping algorithm, the app could now give a user a preview that covers the entire window. This means that you can now completely see the whole picture in bigger and better size than before.
A new kind of surprise: show off more of your pic when you Tweet a single image.

The dropping of the auto-crop sparked controversy among users last year. Some opposed it because of its racial bias. For instance, the feature heavily favors those people who have white faces compared to their black counterparts.
Twitter said that it investigated the issue and concluded that no bias took place when using it. However, the platform decided to still remove it in the end.
For now, those who disagree with the auto-cropping feature could now breathe a sigh of relief because a better feature is now added. There's no need anymore to rewind the cropped images during the preview. Instead, the freedom of the users to see an image on its full size is something that fans have been requesting for a long time.
