O

ver the past couple of years, only advertisers on Instagram have been able to upload multiple pictures at once, leaving the rest of us to pick only the best picture or two to represent our last event, birthday or holiday to keep from spamming our follower’s feeds.

After some comments here and there about the photo carousel feature being released to the public, it has finally happened. According to Instagram's blog, users will now be able to upload 10 photos and videos per post. 

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

The carousel feature will work similarly to Instagram’s Stories, but instead of disappearing after 24 hours, it will remain on a user’s profile. 

To upload multiple pictures, just tap the stacked photos icon and select which pictures you want to include. From there you can edit and reorder your photos, but can only add one caption and location per post.

The feature will roll out on both iOS and Android devices over the next few weeks. (sul/kes)
