Instagram has been fast on trying to catch up to Facebook’s popularity in the last few years. <\/span><\/p>\n

T<\/span>he popular social media platform launched in 2017 the <\/span>carousel feature,<\/span> which lets you add up to 10 photos or videos in a post, being a significant hit among its photo-crazed users.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What’s more is that, according to the study we’ve done in partnership with SocialInsider<\/a>, 19.44% of Instagram posts are carousel, which is a significant growth since 2017.<\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, carousels are the most engaging Instagram post format, with an average of 1.92% engagement per post.\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Since you have the option of adding more photos in a single post, there are more chances for the audience to like at least one of those photos and therefore hit the “love” button.<\/span><\/p>\n

These types of posts are visually appealing, creative, and interactive.<\/p>\n
