What’s new on Instagram?
Instagram’s new set of features gives users greater control over what they post and how it is presented to their audience. Earlier this month, Meta introduced the option to reorder your Instagram profile grid. Instead of a chronological feed, you can drag and drop posts anywhere you like. This comes in clutch while creating banner posts or trying out a new aesthetic.
The new feature for carousel posts helps users engage better with their audience. You can post your vacation picture dump with a different caption for each image. If you’re unable to come up with something unique for each picture, you can choose to leave some blank. Users who post tutorials will also get a huge boost as they can furnish each image with related information instead of posting a wall of text.
Add multiple captions to your Instagram carousel post
- Launch the Instagram app and create a carousel post.
- Tap on Add a caption.
- Tap on Single caption to reveal the drop-down menu.
- Select Multiple captions.
- Type a caption for the first picture, then swipe left to move to the next picture.
- Each picture will have a blank caption field. You can choose to leave it blank.
