Instagram has introduced a new feature that allows creators to add distinct captions for each image or video within a carousel post, according to YugaTech. Previously, users could only include one caption for the entire carousel, limiting the ability to provide context or stories for individual slides.
The update aims to give creators more flexibility in storytelling, enabling them to tailor messages per slide. For example, a travel influencer can now write separate captions for each photo in a vacation series, improving engagement and clarity. The feature is available for both new and existing carousel drafts.
The rollout is currently live for Instagram users globally. No official announcement from Meta has been made yet, but the feature has been widely spotted on iOS and Android. Users can access it by tapping the caption field on individual slides when creating a carousel.
