  • Tap on the Select Multiple icon.
  • If this is your first time uploading photos to Instagram, you might need to give the app permission to access your library.
  • Scroll through your gallery and tap the photos you want to include in your post. You can easily change the order later.
  • You can include up to 10 photos in a post. You can also include videos up to one minute in length.
  • Tap the arrow icon in the top right. You can now select filters for each individual photo or you can apply the same filter across all photos simultaneously by tapping a filter in the horizontal menu at the bottom.
  • You can also rearrange the order of your photos on this screen. To change the order, tap and hold any photo to drag it into the correct spot. Tap the arrow icon again when you’re finished.
