Instagram has released a big change that will excite both users and content creators: an increase in the maximum number of photos for carousel posts! With the ability to now include many images or videos in a single carousel post, users have even more options for sharing their experiences, highlights, and photos with their followers. Here are all details.
Instagram has rolled out a significant update that could enhance the posting of numerous images and videos on the social media network. The limit of 10 uploads per carousel has now been expanded, allowing users to add more content. Users who want to upload their "end-of-summer "photo dumps" will find it easier to do so with this modification, according to the Meta-owned platform. Notably, it is based upon Meta AI Studio, an AI avatar development tool that was made available to users in the US last month.
Instagram Reveals the Carousel Function
Instagram has announced that users can now include up to 20 images or videos in a single carousel. Users who share a lot of content will find it more convenient as a result of this feature's growth because it removes the need to divide media collections into several postings. On Instagram, you may swipe right to view carousels.
Instagram's Carousels feature, which allows for the inclusion of up to five photographs, was initially revealed in 2015. In 2017, videos were added, and the maximum number was increased to ten. According to reports, the social networking site tested the feature's extension in March by enabling a small group of users to include up to 15 frames in a single carousel. It was anticipated that over time, additional users will be added.
Although Instagram has shared that the functionality is rolling out starting from today onwards.
Additional Recently Added Features
In an effort to improve the experience, particularly for content creators, Instagram has been releasing new features and improving old ones in recent months. Instagram Reels gained multi-track functionality last month with an upgrade that let users include up to 20 recordings in a single reel.
Moreover, AI characters were introduced with Meta AI Studio. As the name itself suggests, users can design an AI-powered character that has a name, tagline, and description. This data will serve as the foundation for the development of a small chatbot simulation. Instagrammers who create content can also create AI versions of themselves that can reply to stories and send direct messages (DMs).
