Carousels is a relatively new feature on Instagram that lets users publish multiple photos in one post. But what happens if you want to delete a photo in a carousel?
Instagramremains a popular place for people to update their friends and followers about their lives through a variety of different features, whether that’s stories, feed posts, or Reels.
Users have the option to upload ‘carousel’ posts, similar toTikTok’s photo swipe feature, which allows multiple images in the same post that viewers can scroll through.
But what happens if you’ve uploaded a carousel post and decided you no longer want just one of the included pictures? Here’s how to fix the issue.
How to delete one image from an Instagram carousel
If you want to delete a single image from an Instagram carousel, here’s what to do:
The first thing you need to do, after opening your Instagram profile, is opening up the carousel that has the photo you want to delete. Then tap the three dots in the top corner.
A new pop up with a list of different choices will come up after you select the tree dots. Tap on “Edit” in order to be able to edit your post.
When you get into edit mode, scroll up so you can look at the photos in your carousel. Scroll until you find the photo or video that you want to delete. Then tap on the tiny trash can in the bottom left corner of the photo. Then tap ‘Delete’ in order to delete the photo.
Carousels have become increasingly popular on Instagram since the feature was added, and people continue to use them every day.
