Threads Now Supports 20 Photos in Image Carousels

META’s Threads has expanded its image carousel feature, now allowing up to 20 photos per post, matching Instagram’s recent upgrade.

The expansion of Instagram’s image carousel feature, now allowing up to 20 photos per post, aligns the platform more closely with TikTok, which supports posts of up to 35 photos.

Although TikTok initially gained popularity as a short-form video app, it has seen a rapid rise in the use of photos.

This includes meme formats and trends that utilize images instead of videos, and some users share long-form narratives through a sequence of photos.

While Instagram has traditionally not embraced this photo-centric approach, the increased photo capacity may encourage users to explore and adopt similar practices.

Now, Threads still lacks a toggle to disable auto playing videos, the ability to include more images offers more flexibility for creators looking to share visually engaging content.
