Starting today, you will be able to share multiple images/videos in a single post in Instagram. The photo-sharing platform announced this on their blog yesterday.
How to get the new feature?
Instagram has added the option of sharing multiple photos to both iOS and Android. You simply have to update your app to the latest version by going to the AppStore to be able to enjoy the feature.
How to use the new feature?
“When uploading to your feed, you’ll see a new icon to select multiple photos and videos,” explains Instagram. You’ll see a small icon with blue, overlapping squares.
You can change the filters for each pic individually and change their order if you want. However, there will be only one caption for all the photos combined.
On your profile, the images will occupy just one square block. However, they’ll have the same “multiple squares” icon from before on them, only this time, it will be in white. This will let others that there are more photos to be seen in the post.
Finally, in your newsfeed, posts with multiple images will appear with a few blue dots at the bottom. You can swipe left or right to see all the images/videos.
This is a great new feature by Instagram, especially for people with OCD like me. This will let you organise your photos by events, making it easy to find all the related photos together. Also, it will declutter your profile, which is something that was really missing from Instagram!
