Instagram is expanding the number of photos and videos that can be added to a single grid post. Each carousel post can now include up to 20 photos or videos, doubling the previous limit of 10. This feature, known as a "photo dump," was first introduced in 2017.
Key Updates
- Carousel Posts: Users can now add up to 20 photos or videos.
- Additional Features: Instagram has added functionalities like adding songs to slides and collaborative posts, where multiple users can contribute content.
- TikTok Similarity: TikTok supports posts with up to 35 photos, and this expansion brings Instagram closer to TikTok's capabilities.
- Cultural Shift: While TikTok users often use photos for memes and storytelling, this is less common on Instagram. The increased limit may encourage similar trends on Instagram.
The new feature starts rolling out globally today.
