Instagram Adds Per-Image Captions to Carousels

Instagram is rolling out per-image captions for carousel posts, letting each slide carry its own text and hashtags. The update, which builds on a recent doubling of carousel capacity to 20 slides, gives creators more flexible storytelling tools and is expected to reach all users within a week.

Instagram Adds Per-Image Captions to Carousels
TL;DRAI · 60 sec read

Instagram began rolling out separate captions for each image or video in carousel posts. Users enable a “Multiple Captions” option to enter distinct text and hashtags per slide, with support for up to 20 elements. This helps creators maintain narrative flow in travel journals and photo sequences without a single shared caption.

Instagram has begun rolling out a new feature that lets each image or video in a carousel post carry its own caption.

Multiple Captions option appears during post creation. Users now see a toggle labeled “Multiple Captions” when composing a post. Once enabled, the interface provides a separate text field for every slide, allowing distinct captions and dedicated hashtags for each photo or video.
Creators can now combine up to 20 distinct images or videos with 20 separate captions inside a single post.
The change was confirmed across multiple outlets on the same day and matches the rollout timeline reported by Frandroid.

Carousel capacity doubled earlier to support richer storytelling. Instagram previously raised the maximum number of elements per carousel from 10 to 20. Creators can now combine up to 20 distinct images or videos with 20 separate captions inside a single post.

Social Samosa notes the toggle sits in the caption field, while FoneArena places it on the final sharing screen; both describe the same per-slide text capability. Gadgets360 reports the update expands content presentation options beyond the prior single-caption limit.
Feature targets travel journals, photo dumps and narrative sequences. The addition addresses long-standing requests from creators who publish multi-slide content. Separate captions let followers follow contextual storytelling without losing narrative thread across slides, particularly useful for travel recaps or bulk photo shares from a given period.

Meta is deploying the update globally. The rollout started on June 18, 2026, and the company expects completion within about one week.
Availability will reach all users progressively. As of June 19, 2026, not every account has the option yet. Once fully deployed, the feature will be available inside the standard Instagram app without requiring a separate update.

Tesla and SpaceX confirm Terafab chip fab in Texas

Tesla and SpaceX have confirmed Grimes County, Texas as the site for their Terafab semiconductor megafactory, with the first phase costing roughly $16.8 billion. The project targets the largest chip manufacturing facility on the planet to supply over 1 terawatt of compute per year that exceeds current and future global production capacity.

OpenAI Urges Federal Judge to Throw Out Apple's Trade Secrets Complaint

OpenAI has filed a motion asking a federal judge to dismiss Apple's trade secrets lawsuit, describing the claims as meritless. The dispute, which follows a July suit and this week's injunction request from Apple, highlights tensions after their prior partnership on Siri and OpenAI's hardware push.

Meta introduces Muse Code, its terminal-based coding agent

Meta has released an early beta of Muse Code, a terminal-based coding agent driven by the updated Muse Spark 1.2 model and positioned against Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex. Substantially lower rates, including a contributor plan at $0.10 for every million tokens received, may encourage migration away from higher-priced options such as Anthropic's Sonnet 5.
