Instagram has rolled out an update to its carousel post feature, allowing users to write individual captions for each image or video within a single post. Previously, carousel posts were limited to a single, overarching caption for all slides. The new functionality, released on Thursday, June 18, 2026, provides greater flexibility and storytelling opportunities for users. This update aims to enhance user engagement by allowing for more detailed and specific descriptions for each visual element. The change is now available to all Instagram users. It is expected to be popular with businesses and creators who utilize carousels for showcasing multiple products or telling sequential stories.
