Instagram Now Allows Up to 20 Photos and Videos for Carousel Posts

Instagram today expanded the number of photos and videos that can be added to a single carousel post, reports The Verge. Standard grid posts have long been limited to a total of 10 images and videos, but the limit has now doubled.

Instagram Feature 1
On Instagram, carousel posts allow users to "photo dump" multiple photos and videos at one time, and a user's followers can use swipe gestures to view all of them. Multi-image posts show up on a user's page and in the Instagram feed.

Instagram rival TikTok supports posts with up to 35 photos, so the new limit brings Instagram closer to the TikTok's image options. Instagram has been testing higher image limits since earlier this year.

Support for more images in a single post is rolling out for users around the world as of today.

but what about posting multiple photos that have different aspect ratios? Do they all still conform to first photo of the batch?

For an app that's supposed to be focused on photos not to have an iPad app is pretty laughable.

it has way to many sponsored things these days, plus i rarely see anything from people i really enjoy following unless i look them up, and don't get me started on reels
Yeah agreed, can’t remember the last time I saw a post from someone I actually know. That and reels turned the app into TikTok
IG is getting just as bad as Facebag. Delete all these apps and reclaim your life!! :)
