Instagram carousels are getting even bigger as IG has finally confirmed that creators can add up to 20 frames to a single carousel update.
Now, users can add up to 20 photos or videos in a single carousel, which means more room to share your content on a dedicated theme or topic.
In testing for the past couple of months, longer carousels will increase the frame limit to 15 photos or videos per carousel starting March as opposed to earlier limits of 10 photos and/or video clips. Some users have been able to add 20 frames per update for some time now, and Instagram is now rolling the expanded carousel options out to all users.
This is the latest in a series of feature update, with Instagram also testing text overlays inside carousels and also recently rolling out variable presentation formats for your images within a carousel set.
You will therefore now be able to express a more extended series of different sizes and aligned images, offering a greater capacity to share your updates together with video clips.
And at 20 frames, that's really like a live photo album for a trip or experience.
It's an interesting option, and it'll be interesting to see how IG users adopt expanded carousels and how users respond to 20 frame sets.
