You can now post photo albums to Instagram
After years of only letting its users post one photo or video at a time, Instagram will finally allow the creation of albums.
You can now post up to 10 photos or videos at once on Instagram, the Facebook-owned app announced on Wednesday. An album can be swiped through in the order it was uploaded in.
Here's how the new feature works:
- Instagram users can now select up to 10 photos or videos from their camera rolls to be shown together in one post.
- Each photo or video can be edited using Instagram's built-in tools and rearranged before or after the post is shared.
- Individual profiles can be tagged in each photo or video, but your caption and location tag applies to the whole collection.
- A little album icon at the top right of a post's thumbnail will indicate if there are multiple photos or videos to see.
- This new feature will gradually be made available to all Instagram users over the next few weeks.
