After all, pictures are only worth a thousand words.
Instagram just added a long-requested feature. The platform now allows users to add unique captions to each slide in the carousel. Previously, all slides fell under the same caption, which certainly made it difficult to tell a cohesive multi-image story.
This is accessed via a toggle when you tap the caption box. This way, it’s up to users if they want to put in the extra effort to think of a bunch of new captions.
It’s currently rolling out, but it could take about a week to reach all Instagram users. This follows an update a few years ago in which the platform doubled the number of photos that could be used in a carousel, from 10 to 20. Mixing 20 photos with 20 captions should definitely allow for some fresh content.
The image-based social media platform has recently made changes everywhere. The in-app camera now supports Ultra HDR and Night Sight on Android devices. Additionally, the platform now allows users to customize the algorithm and rearrange posts on the grid.
