Instagram has expanded the number of photos and videos that can be posted in a Carousel format, swiping through a series of images, from the previous limit of 10 to now 20 images or videos combined. This update will impact users worldwide and has already started rolling out today.
Earlier in March, Instagram tested increasing the limit of photos in a Carousel to 15-20 images but restricted it to a select group of users. However, Instagram has now decided to allow users to upload a large set of 20 photos.
Nevertheless, when comparing the number of photos that can be posted in a single post, it still falls short of TikTok, which allows up to 35 photos per post, supporting storytelling rather than just video uploads.
TLDR: Instagram increases the number of photos in a Carousel post from 10 to 20, impacting global users, but still falls short of TikTok’s limit of 35 photos per post.
