New Instagram features coming soon?

Instagram users may soon be able to post multiple images in a single post, if a recent discovery in a beta release of the app ends up going public.

The feature works by letting users select up to 10 images, then upload them as a carousel-style click-through, according to the Verge. It's not entriely new, as Instagram advertisers have had it for a while, but it hasn't been made available to standard users. Creatively the feature could open up new ways of displaying images from events for example.

If it's anything like other beta features, the new functionality will be introduced in a regular software update soon. Since Facebook's takeover of Instagram in April 2012 for approximately US$1 billion in cash and stock, the company has introduced many new changes to the image-sharing app, including 'stories' last year, a short video feature that was criticised for imitating SnapChat.
