Videos Cropped to Square Preview in Feed on Activities with Maps

Has anyone else run into this issue? It appears videos on run/bike activities (anything with a map) are showing up in feed as squares suddenly? If you click into the activity, you can still see the whole 9:16 video, but the preview in the feed seems to be cropping them to squares, which is really annoying.

This was not the case a couple months ago. Not sure if the change is intentional or a bug. 

Thanks for the thoughts/help!

Hi ​@matthew_lane, just to confirm - not sure when this started but indeed it's happening, and it’s not limited to activities with a map - all videos seem to be cropped in the main feed. (iOS app, saw this on indoor workouts as well as outdoor activities with a map.)

Ah thank you for the reply Jana! I hope it reverts to the older format soon. The slimmer videos compliment the maps well; the square videos basically take up the width of the feed and give the map no space
