For a few months now, Instagram has allowed all users to share multiple photos and videos at once, in the same post. Something like a Facebook image gallery does, but with one ‘front-facing’ image or video, followed by up to nine others which you swipe across to see.

If you haven’t tried it yet, you should. The idea is you don’t have to be so selective about what you post on the platform, and can tell more of the story of your personal or business brand, product, event or behind-the-scenes moment with ease in one update.

The video below from Instagram themselves gives you a colourful look into how it all works, then, below, I offer up some tips on making the most out of it in your online activities!
