Why Won't Instagram Let Me Post Multiple Pictures?
You probably know that Instagram has a carousel feature that allows you to upload multiple pictures in a single post. It's a great way to show off your best memories from a trip you took, or an event you attended.
But sometimes, Instagram won't let you post a carousel, and it can be a little frustrating. There are many reasons Instagram won't let you post a carousel, but here are the most common ones:
- The post you made on Instagram violates the community guidelines.
- There is a problem with your internet connection.
- There are issues with the file you uploaded.
- You do not have the latest Instagram version.
On this occasion, you might want to try the following tips to get around Instagram's restrictions and post multiple pictures you want to share.
How to fix it
To fix this pesky Instagram posting issue, here's what to try:
- First, make sure you are using the latest version of the Instagram app.
- Also, check your internet connectivity. A slow and unstable connection may be the reason you cannot post multiple pictures. In the case of a poor connection, you will probably get a “Not Posted Yet. Try Again.” error.
- You might also want to ensure that you are not posting any pictures that violate the community guidelines. You can find out more about the community guidelines on the Instagram Help Centre.
- Try clearing the Instagram cache to see if that helps. If your device is running on low space, delete some apps or media to free up space.
- If the problem persists, resize your picture. It is likely that the picture is too big. Try resizing it to a smaller size and then uploading it again.
- Finally, if all else fails, reach out to Instagram Support. They can help you with the issue. You can also report the problem within the app.
We know it is frustrating when you can't post multiple pictures on Instagram. In this situation, your best bet is to try the troubleshooting tips mentioned above.
