Sharing highlights of your day on your Instagram stories or posts are the kind of content that increases the level of engagement on your profile. However, sometimes, just one photo per story or post isn’t enough to convey the message. For this very reason, Instagram supports adding multiple photos or videos to your posts or stories.

How to share multiple photos on your post?
Well, let’s start with the basics first and get right to one of the most useful features of Instagram — sharing multiple photos on your post.
Follow the steps mentioned below to add multiple photos to your Instagram post.
- Open Instagram, tap the + icon in the top right and select Post.
- Tap the Select Multiple option and select the photos you want. Alternatively, you can tap and hold the first photo in the series and select the ones you want in order. Tap the next arrow when you’re done selecting posts.
- Add any filters you want. Once done, tap the next arrow again.
- Now write a caption, tag any people you want or ad a location. Once you’re done, click the tick mark in the top right to post your photos.
Note that the orientation of your photos, whether landscape or portrait, will remain the same for all your photos.
How to share multiple photos on your story?
There are two different ways around this feature to add multiple photos to your Instagram story. You can choose to create a layout of your photos on your story; alternatively, you can tap on the photos sticker to add selective photos to your story.
We have discussed both the methods in the following section:
Creating a layout for Instagram story
Follow the steps mentioned below to create a layout for your Instagram story:
- Open the Instagram app and tap on the + icon followed by Story.
- Tap on the story layout option on the left.
- If you want to change the grid, tap on the Change grid button.
- Once you’re done selecting a grid, tap the + icon in the bottom left and add the photos to your grid. You can also just click a picture using the capture button.
- Once you’re done adding photos, tap the tick button in the center to finalise the format.
- Tap the Your Story option to post the story.
Sharing multiple photos through photo sticker
If you’d want to add multiple photos using a sticker instead, follow these steps.
- Open the Instagram app and tap on the + icon followed by Story.
- Either take a picture or tap the icon in the bottom right to select a photo to post.
- Tap the sticker button.
- Select either the camera sticker if you want to take a picture and add it, or the photos sticker if you want to add photos from your gallery. We’re going with the photos sticker.
- Select the photo you want to use.
- Tap the Your Story option to post your story.
You can repeat the steps mentioned above as many times as you’d want to add multiple pictures. Note that you can drag the photos to change their position on your screen, and you can change the shape of the image by tapping on the photo.
