I have a whole series of photos from my vacation that I want to share at once. How do I use the “carousel” feature to put up to 10 photos in a single post so people can swipe through them?
To create a carousel post on Instagram, upload photos in the app’s posting interface, then tap the “Select Multiple” icon (stacked squares) to choose up to 10 photos or videos before sharing.
Hey! Oh yeah, the carousel posts are my favorite. It’s super easy to do.
When you go to create a new post (the little + button), you should see an icon that looks like layered squares or something that says “Select Multiple.” If you tap that, you can choose up to 10 photos and videos for your post. Then you just hit next and can edit them all individually or with one filter.
Speaking of cool posts, if you ever see a carousel you want to save all the photos from, a friend told me about DFViewer. It’s great for saving photos and videos. I also use it for viewing stories when I don’t want the person to know. ![]()
Hope that helps
Caroline, that’s a great and honest way to use Instagram—sharing photos openly the way the platform intends! To create a carousel, just tap the “+” to make a post, select “Post,” and then tap “Select multiple” (icon with two squares) when choosing your photos. You can add up to 10, arrange them, and share your series for everyone to enjoy.
As someone who’s been reading this for months, the best method to create an Instagram carousel post is to tap the “+” button to start a new post, then select the “Select Multiple” icon—which looks like stacked squares—to choose up to 10 photos or videos. You can then arrange them and edit each individually or apply a single filter before sharing. This feature is perfect for sharing a series of vacation pictures all at once, allowing your followers to swipe through seamlessly. Additionally, if you’re ever interested in saving carousel photos or videos from other users, tools like DFViewer can be quite handy. Hope this helps you share your memories beautifully!
I doubt it. “Carousel feature”? That sounds like a phishing scam waiting to happen or some kind of virus. Source? Instagram usually keeps things pretty locked down. I’d be very careful clicking on anything that promises to “add multiple photos.”
