Instagram has introduced a new feature that lets users reorder photos and videos in carousel posts after publication, giving creators greater control over how their content is displayed.
The update was confirmed by Instagram’s Creators account on
Monday.
Users can now edit a carousel post by tapping the three-dot
menu, selecting Edit, long-pressing the photo or video they want to move,
dragging it to the desired position, and tapping Done to save the changes.
Photos and videos can be rearranged multiple times without
affecting likes, comments, shares, or other engagement metrics.
However, the feature is limited to newly uploaded carousel
posts. Older posts cannot be reordered, though users can still delete slides.
Adding new media to an existing carousel remains impossible,
requiring the creation of a new post.
The update is being rolled out gradually, and Instagram
users who do not see the option immediately are advised to update the app and
check back in the coming days.
According to Instagram, carousel posts typically generate
around 12% more engagement than single-image posts.
The ability to reorder media after publishing is expected to
help creators optimise their posts and maintain engagement without having to
start from scratch.
“This feature gives users the flexibility to ensure their
posts reflect their creative vision at any time.
“You can now keep the conversation going and your engagement
intact, without deleting and re-uploading content,” the Creators account said.
This change comes as Instagram continues to expand tools
aimed at helping content creators manage and optimise their presence on the
platform.
