Description:
In a small but meaningful update, Instagram will now let any user post feed, 
carousel posts with up to 20 photos and videos.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

Whether youve dreamed of posting a longer carousel post on Instagram  be it 
photos and videos of your dog, sharing your latest epic travel adventure, or 
maybe simply a monthly dump  the latest feature update from the social media 
giant will make your dream a little closer. 

Instagram, which is owned by Meta, announced today that the feed, carousel 
posts, can now contain up to 20 photos or videos in length. Thats effectively 
a doubling from the previous limit of 10, and while you might not use it 
daily, its handy to be able to share more if you choose to do it. (Image

These types of gallery postsnot only have a neat effect that lets you swipe 
through quickly using the dots under the photo but are also a great way to 
share more of a similar type of content in just one post. Monthly dumps  
captioned July recap or August so far  have become pretty popular on the 
platform, and its likely that those who post monthly dumps will get some more 
mileage out of this. 

Its worth noting that its not a count you need to hit; you can create and 
publish a carousel post with anywhere between 1 and 20 photos, videos, or 
both media types. The new limit gets closer to matching TikToks limit of 35, 
which could be seen as Instagram trying to increase engagement compared to 
the app that is first and foremost known for vertical video. 

This latest change is now rolling out globally to all Instagram users and may 
already be an option for you if you try posting. Instagram seems to be on a 
roll with updates and announcements as well, as in late July  AI Studio  was 
rolled out to help larger users on the platform engage with followers. RIP
