Starting today, you can share even more photos and videos in one ad or post on Instagram.

With this update, your carousel ads can now show from two to 10 pieces of media and will have a fresh, new design. You can select the order you want your media to appear, or use dynamic ordering which will show the highest performing pieces of content first.

And for everyday posts, you no longer have to choose the single best photo or video from an experience you want to remember. Now, you can combine up to 10 photos and videos in one post and swipe through to see them all.

When uploading to your feed, you’ll see a new icon to select multiple photos and videos. It’s easy to control exactly how your post will look. You can tap and hold to change the order, apply a filter to everything at once or edit one by one. These posts have a single caption and are square-only for now. On your profile grid, you’ll notice the first photo or video of your post has a little icon, which means there’s more to see.

In feed, you’ll see blue dots at the bottom of these posts to let you know you can swipe to see more.1 You can like and comment on them just like a regular post.

From stories to live video to posts in feed, it’s never been easier to share your business experiences with your followers.

This feature will be rolling out globally over the next few weeks on iOS and Android. To learn more, check out the Instagram Help Center.
