There are two things happening: 1. When we released the [last model update](https://www.inaturalist.org/blog/91824-new-computer-vision-model-v2-12-with-1-983-new-taxa), we made a small mention that > “Cropping Change” is a slight modification to the way images are prepared before they are sent to the CV model that resulted in an average 2.1% improvement. This is the center cropping that you correctly deduced. The previous method was basically a “squish” that can distort proportions (e.g. make an elongated leaf look like a wide one). 1. The iOS app has been oddly resizing very small images (i.e. manually cropped to focus on something small in the original photo), which wasn’t a big problem before, but in combination with the new server-side cropping, has recently resulted in some way off species suggestions. We should have a fix out soon.
