Instagram Launches Feature Allowing Unique Captions for Each Carousel Image

Instagram has introduced a new feature that allows users to add different captions to each photo or video within a carousel post. Previously, users could only write one caption for the entire post, which often made it difficult to describe multiple images effectively. Now, when creating a carousel post, users can toggle on the "multiple captions" option and write a unique description for up to 20 slides, matching the platform's carousel limit.

This update aims to save users time and reduce the frustration of deciding on a single caption that fits all images. Followers will see the caption change as they swipe through the carousel, enhancing the storytelling experience. The feature is especially beneficial for content creators who want to provide detailed, step-by-step guides, showcase multiple products with individual descriptions, or add context tailored to each image.

Additionally, the new captioning option improves accessibility for visually impaired users who rely on screen readers and assistive technologies, ensuring they receive the same narrative flow as other users. Instagram announced the feature on June 18, 2026, highlighting its potential to elevate both personal and professional content sharing on the platform.
