iPhone 14+ Instagram Viewing Issue

Hi, I recently just got my iPhone 14+ and I noticed that there is a problem on Instagram that bothers me a little bit. The stories, videos, reels seem to be magnified and sometimes the texts in the videos gets cut off on the sides/margins. I view it on my brother's phone which is a Samsung and it shows up normal without any altercation that cuts off the texts on the margins. I haven't used an iPhone in a while, so is this a normal issue? It seems like either Instagram instead formatted correctly or is it an iPhone 14+ issue?
