This cropping style was also mentioned as a Twitter crop. Initially, this started working on aspect ratios, then using AI image detection. This was a complete annoyance as it would automatically crop in people’s faces and other important features in the image.

From the latest update of Twitter, in march month of 2021, the company has improvised the image-sharing experiences for users. The Twitter crop is completely removed and its the best part of posting profile pictures on Twitter now.
