Joey went on a school trip to a wonderful place. During this time he took a lot of photos with his iPhone, but he also took some panorama photos to fully capture the essence of the landscape. After taking all these photos, he wanted to share them on social media, and maybe even share them as Instagram Stories, but unfortunately the panorama photos are too wide for that format. Fortunately, Joey had Paneo installed, an application that allowed him to share panoramas as videos in the perfect format for Instagram!
