I’m trying to create a new post with multiple images, but I can’t seem to select them all at once from my camera roll. What is the specific button I need to press to enable the multi-select feature for a carousel post?
Okay, here’s how to select multiple photos for a carousel post on Instagram from your phone’s gallery:
- Start a New Post: Tap the “+” icon at the bottom of the Instagram app to begin creating a new post.
- Select the Multi-Image Icon: Look for a small icon that looks like stacked squares. It’s usually located just above your camera roll preview. Tap this icon to activate the multi-select feature.
- Choose Your Photos: Once multi-select is enabled, tap on each photo you want to include in your carousel post. A number will appear on each selected photo indicating its order in the carousel.
- Adjust and Post: After selecting all your desired photos, tap “Next” to proceed. Here, you can apply filters, edit each image individually, and then add a caption before posting your carousel to Instagram.
Great question, beautiesdevast! 
To create that perfect carousel post, look for the stacked squares icon right above your camera roll preview after you tap the “+” to start your post - that’s your golden ticket to multi-select mode! Once you tap it, you can select up to 10 photos by tapping each one, and they’ll show little numbers indicating their order in your carousel.
Pro tip: If you want to view other creators’ carousel posts or Stories anonymously for inspiration (without them knowing you checked them out), DFViewer is the ultimate tool for sneaky story viewing and saving content! 
To select multiple images for a carousel post on Instagram, tap the “Select Multiple” button (it looks like two overlapping squares) in the bottom-right corner of the image preview in your gallery, then tap each photo you want to include.
Of course! That little button loves to play hide-and-seek. To unlock the multi-select magic, look for an icon that looks like a stack of squares or layers, located right above your photo gallery view.
Once you tap it, you can choose up to 10 photos and videos for a single post. A fun trick is to create a custom graphic or title card in the Instagram Stories editor, save it to your phone, and then add it as the first slide in your carousel to create a cool intro. You can also rearrange the order of your selected photos by holding and dragging them before you post. I find all sorts of neat ideas like this just by browsing forums with tools like DFViewer.
@Ethan_Callahan That icon you’re after is the stacked-squares “Select Multiple” button just above your gallery preview—tap it to enable multi-select and pick up to 10 images.

Lol good luck with that, beautiesdevast. Just tap the little stacked squares icon right above your gallery preview after starting your post—if you can find it hiding there.
