Carousel: meaning and how it works
Published 1 October 2026
A carousel is a post with several images or videos that people swipe through.
Carousels are good for saves because they hold tips, steps and lists.
How it works in practice
Carousels let people swipe through up to ten slides. They are popular for tips, lists and step-by-step guides, and they tend to earn saves.
Example
Example: “5 mistakes in your Instagram bio” with one mistake per slide and a summary on the last.
