Now you can include 20 photos in one Instagram post

Good news, participants: Instagram has doubled the number of photos and videos users can share in carousel posts. A social media representative told Engadget that the limit has been increased from 10 to 20. This update will roll out to all Instagram users worldwide starting today.

For users of a certain age, this change may harken back to the late 2000s era of Facebook’s photo dump. Long before it was “Meta,” Facebook was around i a place to share large numbers of photos. And since smartphones were new to the market, many of those photos were from digital sources that would never fit into your pocket. Ah, the memories!

The carousel post format was first rolled out to all Instagram users back then but was limited to 10 items until now. Instagram has tested additional carousel features since that original launch, such as the ability to single-image in a group and set posts.
