TL; DR (tap to expand)
  • Instagram now lets users add individual captions to each slide in a carousel post.
  • Users can also attach images in comments on posts and Reels, with support for captions.
  • Both features are rolling out gradually on iOS and Android and will reach more users in the coming weeks.

Instagram is rolling out two long-requested features that significantly improve how users create and interact with posts. Creators can now add individual captions to each slide in a carousel post, and users can also attach images while commenting on posts and Reels.

Unique Captions for Every Carousel Slide

Previously, Instagram only allowed one caption for an entire carousel post, which made it difficult to explain multiple images or videos properly. With this update, users can now write a separate caption for each slide.

To use this feature, simply add your carousel photos and tap the text field. You’ll then see the option to choose between a single caption or multiple captions. Select “Multiple captions,” enter the caption you’d like for each slide, and tap “OK” to save your changes.

This feature has been highly requested by creators, influencers, and businesses who frequently post carousels for tutorials, product showcases, or storytelling.

Adding Images in Post and Reel Comments

Instagram is also introducing the ability to attach images while commenting on posts and Reels. Instead of only being able to reply with text or GIFs, users can now select and upload an image from their gallery while commenting. They can also add a caption to go with the image.

This feature is currently being tested and rolled out gradually to users worldwide, on both iOS and Android.

If you’re not seeing any of these features on your Instagram app, don’t worry. They are currently rolling out gradually and are expected to become available to all users in the coming weeks.
