“While Twitter began as an all text platform, rich media has become essential to the experience. Some of the best moments on Twitter are when you see the world through someone else’s eyes,” explained Twitter’s product manager Akarshan Kumar in a blog post.

“Starting today, we’re making your twitter.com timeline more immersive by uncropping photos, so you can experience and present them as they were meant to be viewed,” Kumar added.
