NEW Instagram Feature Update – Instagram Carousels

By

instagram-carousels

Instagram just rolled out a cool new feature that now allows users to upload as many as 10 photo’s or videos into one single post. The images then appear in a single post in a carousel which is pretty cool and I think opens up multiple opportunities to tell a story or just share multiple moments from a party or an event without having to share a ton of new posts.

Here is a quote form Instagram’s blog regarding this new update:

With this update, you no longer have to choose the single best photo or video from an experience you want to remember. Now, you can combine up to 10 photos and videos in one post and swipe through to see them all.

Share your favorite moments of your best friend’s surprise birthday party, from setting up to when they walk through the door. Or create a step-by-step cake recipe that people can always find on your profile. “

This feature will allow users to create some pretty cool posts and I think it’s a great new addition to an incredibly cool app.
