Instagram Adds Per-Image Captions to Carousels

Instagram is rolling out per-image captions for carousel posts, letting each slide carry its own text and hashtags. The update, which builds on a recent doubling of carousel capacity to 20 slides, gives creators more flexible storytelling tools and is expected to reach all users within a week.

Instagram Adds Per-Image Captions to Carousels
TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Instagram began rolling out separate captions for each image or video in carousel posts. Users enable a “Multiple Captions” option to enter distinct text and hashtags per slide, with support for up to 20 elements. This helps creators maintain narrative flow in travel journals and photo sequences without a single shared caption.

Instagram has begun rolling out a new feature that lets each image or video in a carousel post carry its own caption.

Multiple Captions option appears during post creation. Users now see a toggle labeled “Multiple Captions” when composing a post. Once enabled, the interface provides a separate text field for every slide, allowing distinct captions and dedicated hashtags for each photo or video.
Creators can now combine up to 20 distinct images or videos with 20 separate captions inside a single post.
The change was confirmed across multiple outlets on the same day and matches the rollout timeline reported by Frandroid.

Carousel capacity doubled earlier to support richer storytelling. Instagram previously raised the maximum number of elements per carousel from 10 to 20. Creators can now combine up to 20 distinct images or videos with 20 separate captions inside a single post.

Social Samosa notes the toggle sits in the caption field, while FoneArena places it on the final sharing screen; both describe the same per-slide text capability. Gadgets360 reports the update expands content presentation options beyond the prior single-caption limit.
Feature targets travel journals, photo dumps and narrative sequences. The addition addresses long-standing requests from creators who publish multi-slide content. Separate captions let followers follow contextual storytelling without losing narrative thread across slides, particularly useful for travel recaps or bulk photo shares from a given period.

Meta is deploying the update globally. The rollout started on June 18, 2026, and the company expects completion within about one week.
Availability will reach all users progressively. As of June 19, 2026, not every account has the option yet. Once fully deployed, the feature will be available inside the standard Instagram app without requiring a separate update.
