Alignment and Scaling Issues on Instagram Stories
Alignment and Scaling Issues on Instagram Stories
Instagram Stories elements, such as text and emoji sliders, do not scale properly and often misalign, leading to a frustrating user experience and accessibility issues.
Many users experience or face difficulty when trying to resize & align text and emoji sliders in Instagram Stories, as these elements often distort and misalign. This problem also makes these features less accessible for users with varying abilities, diminishing overall user satisfaction and engagement.

Better Scaling & alignment
Better Scaling & alignment
Before : There's no solution for proportionate scaling in Instagram Story previously as seen in the previous video

After
Proportionate Scaling : Ensuring that all elements (text, emoji sliders, etc.) scale proportionally to maintain their aspect ratios. This can prevent distortion and maintain visual consistency.
Handles for Precision : Introducing resize handles at the corners and sides of the elements to allow users for more precise control over the scaling process.
Quickly Centre align elements option for users & an option for rearrangement

Snap to grid
Snap to grid
Before : There was only one simple guide system that too , on the centre ( just center alignment )

After
Allow users to switch between 3 different types of grids having different constraints [ Yes those dotted white boxes ] based on their preferences
Snap to grid : Implement a snap-to-grid feature that helps elements align perfectly. This can make it easier for users to place elements without worrying about misalignment.
Boundary Constraints & Guidelines : Setting boundary constraints & guidelines , helps in maintaining the visual integrity of the story.
