Quality
Upload photos up to 1440p resolution in stories
ensure 1440p photo upload
By default the photos you upload to stories are 1080, enabling this setting will increase the resolution up to 1440.
Reduce compression of photo uploads in the feed
photo creation
70 = 30% compression
100 = 0% compression (without compression)
High quality video uploads on stories and reels
high quality upload setting
Enter the name and enable the toggle and put the bitrate mbps to 20 (recommended).
You can change it to 20 if you use video with 1080p or 1440p resolution (for slightly better compression). And the maximum bitrate you can use is 30 (suitable for 4k video) but there is a possibility that the video will fail to upload if you use bitrate above 25Mbps so be careful.
After enabling the setting restart the app, and then go to the Instagram settings > Account or Preferences > Cellular data use > and turn on the "Upload at highest quality" option.
