Portrait for the feed
Most people scroll Facebook on a phone held upright. A 4:5 portrait post is taller than a square or a landscape picture of the same width, so it takes up more of the screen as people scroll past.
Why keep the Instagram safe area on Facebook
When the same post also goes to Instagram, the profile grid there shows only its middle. Keeping logos and text inside the safe area means one design works everywhere it is posted.
