Instagram Expands Carousel Post Limit to 20 Items
Great news for avid Instagram users: the platform has officially increased the maximum number of photos and videos you can upload in a carousel post from 10 to an impressive 20. As announced by a representative from Instagram, this new feature is being rolled out globally starting today, making it easier than ever for users to share their visual stories.
A Nostalgic Throwback for Certain Users
For many longtime social media enthusiasts, this update may remind them of the days in the late 2000s when Facebook was known for massive photo collections. Back then, before it evolved into “Meta,” Facebook served as the go-to platform for sharing extensive photo albums. Since smartphones were still in their infancy, countless photographs originated from digital cameras that lacked portability. Those were indeed memorable times!
The Evolution of Carousel Posts on Instagram
The carousel post feature debuted several years ago but was limited to just 10 images until this recent update. Over time, Instagram has rolled out additional functionalities related to carousels, such as options for featuring one image prominently or allowing users greater flexibility in how they interact with their posts.
This enhancement comes amid continuous innovations on social media platforms aimed at enriching user engagement and content sharing capabilities.
