Instagram expands sharing horizons
Good news for all Instagram users who love to share without counting! The social network has announced that it will double the number of photos and videos that users will be able to share in a carousel post. According to a representative of the platform, we are going from a limit of 10 to 20 media items per post.
A touch of nostalgia
This change may remind some of a bygone era, when Facebook (long before it became “Meta”) was the place to share a multitude of photos. Back when smartphones were just emerging, most of these photos came from digital devices that didn’t fit in your pocket. Enough to make “Ah, what memories!”.
Beyond the simple update
Recall that the carousel post format was launched for all Instagram users in 2017 and was until now limited to 10 items. Since then, Instagram has explored new features for the carousel, such as the ability to remove a single photo from the batch or add music to posts.
This update, which will mark the beginning of a new era of visual saturation, will be rolling out today to all Instagram users worldwideIt is up to them to transform this possibility into a creative opportunity.
