Instagram Rolls Out Post-Publish Carousel Reordering

The phased update answers a top user request to fix carousel order after a post goes live.

Overview

  • Instagram is introducing a feature that lets users change the order of photos and videos in an already published carousel.
  • To reorder, open the post, tap the three dots, choose Edit, then long press a photo or video and drag it to a new spot.
  • The rollout is gradual, so the option may not show up for all accounts right away.
  • This update only reorders existing items in a carousel and does not allow adding new photos or videos to a live post.
  • The change removes the need to delete and repost to fix mistakes, building on Instagram’s August 2024 move to raise carousels to 20 items.
