Instagram's terrible resize algorithm for some android phones

PROBLEM
When uploading to Instagram on some android phones such as Nexus 4 the uploaded image looks pixelated and terrible. This has nothing to do with MELD, but it is in fact a problem with a poor image resizing algorithm used by Instagram on some of the android phones.

SOLUTION
Use a resize program ( eg. built in android editor, Pixlr Express which is free) and resize to 640x640 if using "Use High-Quality Image Processing" and then upload!

Otherwise,
you will need to go to Instagram options and under "advanced features" there will be a checkbox called "Use High-Quality Image Processing". MAKE SURE THIS IS UNCHECKED. Re-upload the results, guarantee the quality will be better although blurry... but better.
