Meta has released the latest update on Instagram, and this adds a whole new range of social media features for users to enjoy, centering on adding music to their multiple photo posts, a.k.a. the Photo Carousel. This expands more of adding personalization and style to one's post and is a similar feature to TikTok's Photo Mode.
However, the social media company did not stop there, as it expands more of the Instagram Collabs for the public to use, now with three people under one post.
Instagram Adds Music to Photo Carousels like TikTok
A new post from Meta details the latest features it has available for Instagram, and one of the largest releases here is adding music to your Instagram Photo Carousel post. This means that whenever users scroll through this specific post on the feed, the licensed music that users can choose from Meta's bank may play, especially when looking at the multiple photos.
Meta calls this a soundtrack to add to one's post, and this helps add life to what was shared online, instead of seeing the images added to the post, users may also vibe while viewing these pictures.
As per Engadget, this feature is like what TikTok has introduced with its Photo Mode, with the images uploaded under one post in a carousel-style design, as well as songs running when it is accessed.
Instagram Adds Another User for Collabs
However, that is not all that Instagram has to offer for this specific post, as the company has also expanded more of its Collabs feature where users are now allowed to add up to two people. A total of three people may appear as collaborators for a single post on Instagram, adding more friends to join the mix and co-appear in the said post.
Also, Instagram said that this is available for both private and public accounts.
Instagram's Latest Features
Instagram remains one of the most famous platforms in the world, and it sees massive content from the public, centering on content creators and regular users who bring massive content daily. However, Meta is also looking to add future labels for Instagram posts that contain generative AI or those that have been done via machine-learning tech.
With the platform being one of the most used, more and more regulations come for users, one that could help in expanding more of the experience for all.
Perhaps, one of the best additions to Instagram now is the Threads app which takes over its text-based aspect in another platform, while the main app centers on all multi-media posts.
Content creation is still a key focus for Instagram as it centers on sharing content with mainly photos, videos, or Reels, as well as the expiring 24-hour stories. With Music on Photo Carousels enhancing more of one's post to better express themselves or inviting as many as three people for the Collab, Instagram expands more of the media sharing experiences of what it has to offer.
