Instagram Now Lets You Share Up to 20 Slides in a Single Post

Instagram has announced a significant update to its carousel post feature, allowing users to share up to 20 photos or videos in a single grid post. This expansion doubles the previous limit, where users could only add up to 10 pieces of content to each carousel post — often referred to as a “photo dump.”

The carousel feature, which was first introduced in 2017, has since become a popular way for users to share multiple moments or tell a more comprehensive story through a single post. Whether it’s showcasing a series of vacation photos, documenting an event, or simply sharing a collection of related images and videos, the ability to add more content to a single post offers new creative possibilities.

More Space for Collaboration and Creativity

One of the most exciting aspects of this update is how it enhances collaborative posts. Instagram has gradually introduced more features to the carousel function, such as pairing songs with your slides and enabling multiple users to contribute to a single post. With the new 20-slide limit, collaborations can become even more dynamic, allowing more contributors to share their content within one post. This is particularly useful for group events, brand partnerships, or any scenario where multiple perspectives or moments are worth capturing in one place.

Aligning with Social Media Trends

Instagram’s update also brings it closer to TikTok’s current offering, where users can post up to 35 photos in a single post. While TikTok initially gained fame as a short-form video platform, photo posts have quickly gained popularity on the app. TikTok users have been using these photo carousels to create memes, follow trends, or tell extended stories slide by slide. Although Instagram traditionally has a different culture, this new feature could encourage users to explore similar formats and storytelling techniques on the platform.

Global Rollout

The new feature begins rolling out globally today, so users worldwide can start experimenting with longer carousel posts. Whether you're a content creator, a casual user, or someone who enjoys sharing detailed stories through your posts, this update provides more room to express yourself on Instagram.

This expansion is another step in Instagram's ongoing efforts to enhance user experience and keep up with evolving trends in social media. As the platform continues to evolve, users can look forward to even more tools and features that allow for greater creativity and engagement.
