Instagram is testing out a new update that would enable users to caption each unique image or video within a carousel, providing another way to maximize the value of its multi-image posts.
As shown in this image, posted by IG user Binita Shah, some Instagram users who are part of the test pool are being made aware of the update via a pop-up within the composer, which explains that they “can now add a caption for each photo or video in your post.”
That would enable more context, and more opportunity to share expanded info within carousels, increasing the informational value and utility of carousel posts.
And Carousels are already one of the most valuable posting options in the app.

Statistically, carousel posts also drive more engagement. In March 2025, Buffer shared datathat showed that carousel posts generate an average of around 12% more engagement per post.
As such, carousel posts should already be a consideration for those looking to build their IG presence, and this new option could potentially add another way to use carousel posts to create expanded branding and contextual impact.
