Instagram will now let you post a batch of photos, videos at once

Instagram has rolled out a new feature which allows you to post multiple photos, videos – up to 10 – in one go.

Operating the feature is simple: just upload content as your normally would and select “choose multiple” on the upload screen. You are then able to choose up to 10 photos or videos from your camera roll, similarly to the process of sending multiple photos in one text message, which can be edited/reordered before the post is published. On the viewing side, just swipe through the post to begin siphoning through content. It is also important to note that one caption and location tag is used for each post—not separate ones for each photo or video.

An album post will be marked with a new icon that looks like a stack of photos when it shows up on your profile page. It will show up in your friends’ feeds with blue dots at the bottom, so they’ll know that the post has multiple images or videos. To view the entire post, just swipe from left to right.

I guess photographers would be able to achieve more with this new feature as they would be able to post a whole album at once instead of the traditional way of posting. Bloggers are not left out, as this would boost their blogging techniques – they can now post things like an Instagram Gallery of 6 Places You Must Visit in France, or Top 10 Bridal Hairstyles of 2017. It’s going to make Instagram even more fun to browse.

This feature is also another reason for users to spend more time on Instagram. And then the plus – Snapchat did not do it first!

P.S. I don’t think this feature is available in Nigeria yet.
