Instagram rolled out a new feature this week, allowing users to post up to 10 photos and videos in a single post. While some feel this is a fundamental change of what Instagram is, many see it as a way to stay ahead of competator Snapchat.

David Cohen for AdWeek reports:

Instagram officially introduced the ability for users to share multiple photos and videos in a single post, after several users spotted the feature being tested earlier this month.

Users of the Facebook-owned photo- and video-sharing network who update their iOS or Android applications to version 10.9 can now add up to 10 photos and videos to a single post, and other users can swipe through those posts to view all of the content.

Instagram said in a blog post announcing the update:

When uploading to your feed, you’ll see a new icon to select multiple photos and videos. It’s easy to control exactly how your post will look. You can tap and hold to change the order, apply a filter to everything at once or edit one by one. These posts have a single caption and are square-only for now. On your profile grid, you’ll notice the first photo or video of your post has a little icon, which means there’s more to see.

Not because the technology is not there, but rather because, increasingly, people are no longer interested in news, at least in the way it is packaged now.


What TV News Could Be
February 26, 2024

When television was invented in the 1930s, no one knew what TV news was supposed to look like. The medium had never existed before, and so, like Gutenberg half a millennium, prior, the first creators of TV news had to fall back on a medium with which they were familiar, and that was radio.


Maybe scary stories drive ratings… or maybe they don’t.
