Image enlargement on Instagram Stories does not work

[antarn88]

I use Google Chrome v110 on Windows 11.

The steps:

• I login to Instagram.
• Stories appear at the top, I click on one.
• I hover the cursor over the image and nothing happens.

It could also work for Story videos.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm not on Windows 11 so cannot exactly replicate your environment. However, normally it's unlikely to be an OS-related issue. PhotoShow works for me on Ins. Can you please check if you have accidentally disabled PhotoShow for Ins in its settings or maybe you have "ACTIVATION EXEMPTION" on while you were browsing Ins in a small browser window?

Also, PhotoShow doesn't support viewing videos at the moment, you can get a video cover preview instead though.

Feel free to attach more details of your issue or reach out to me via email. Thanks.

It works everywhere within instagram, except for stories!
It's not disabled, and I tried it with and without "ACTIVATION EXEMPTION"! I have attached a picture.

Thanks for the supplementary. I'll address this issue later and let you know the result.

Thanks again for your feedback. This issue has been fixed in update 4.20.1.

Thanks for the fix.

However, the enlarged image is not always the highest resolution.
For example, when I save images with this, sometimes they are much higher resolution:

Thanks, I'll need to investigate how this works a bit.

Similar to #98, PhotoShow will not rely on third-party services or Instagram platform APIs to fetch HD images at this stage. Thank you.
