Until now, Instagram feed posts were limited to one photo per post. However, with the 2017 update of Instagram, it is now possible to post multiple photos and videos at once. This allows you to efficiently convey more information to your users.
If you post multiple photos or videos to Stories, the screen will switch every few seconds, allowing users to enjoy different photos like a slideshow.
Besides this method, Stories also allows you to collage multiple photos on one screen.
How to post multiple photos and videos on Instagram feed screen
You can now post multiple photos and videos at once on your Instagram feed.
Previously, feeds only allowed one photo per post. Many people have said that they wanted to convey a lot of information, and as a result of posting to the feed many times in a row, they ended up being unfollowed.
By posting multiple posts, you can prevent the above risks.
You can select up to 10 combined photos and videos per post. A single feed post can effectively convey a lot of information to your users. You can post multiple photos and videos to your feed by following the steps below.
① Log in to the Instagram app and display the home screen.
(2) Tap + in the center of the bottom of the screen.
(3) Tap Select multiple at the bottom right of the photo. The main reason why Select multiple is not displayed is that the version of the Instagram app is old. If it is old, please update to the latest version and try again. If you have already updated to the latest version, restarting your smartphone may solve the problem.
④ Selectable photos and videos will be displayed in a list, so select the one you want to post. You can select up to 10 images, and they will be posted in the order you select them.
⑤ After completing the selection, tap Next at the top right of the screen to display the edit screen.
⑥Once you have finished editing, such as applying filters, enter captions and add tags as you would with a normal feed post. There are two ways to filter: bulk and individual. Apply filters collectively when you want to create a sense of unity or when you don’t have time, and apply filters individually when you want to make each image different.
⑦ Tap Share at the top right of the screen to complete posting to the feed.
