Instagram galleries

How they work and how to best use them

A few weeks ago the function that will allow us to publish up to 10 contents in a single post has been introduced on Instagram.
The images and videos can be edited individually or in groups and in the timeline a series of blue dots under the content makes us understand that the post contains more than one element.
The first element selected will be the one that will appear as the cover and for the moment the function, available for both iOS and Android, allows only the square format.

After the introduction of the galleries, we can finally stop worrying about which of the many images to post to represent an important event and this will certainly change the way we share and view content on one of the most used social networks in the world.
The new feature, if used correctly, can allow us to bring great benefits to our profile, attracting even more followers.
It will certainly prevent us from being boring, posting too much content and clogging the timeline of our followers, who now, thanks to a single post, will be able to look at the photos of an event, without having one post after another. At the moment you can enter a single caption and a single place for the whole gallery, so it is advisable that the contents are consistent in order not to create confusion.
For example, food bloggers or cooking lovers could take advantage of this new function in a creative way, sharing step by step the preparation of a dish or the foods that have been eaten during the day. The same also applies to the tutorials, making them very useful for make-up artists or DIY enthusiasts. The posts for profiles dedicated to fitness could also be very interesting, which will be able to publish the workout of the day or a series of exercises in a single post.
Finally, even those who love to share moments with the family or with their pets, will not risk losing followers, sharing all the contents in a single post.

Have you already thought about how to use this new feature?
