Instagram captions will now appear when embedding

Big news for digital publishing people! Captions on the photo-sharing platform Instagram now appear by default.

The company has been testing out a new look for embedded photos on the web since last week. In addition to a bigger, cleaner design, with a narrower bezel around the frame, captions will now automatically appear below a photo or video. Previously, embedded Instagram photos in news articles or blog sites appeared without the original caption. The change means more storytelling opportunities. There is also an option to disable that if the Instagram account owner so chooses.

The new embed code will also include some javascript that automatically resizes the embed horizontally and vertically to fit the site’s container, depending on what size mobile device you’re using.
