Instagram has introduced several new text-based creative tools. For Reels and Stories, users now have access to expanded fonts, effects, and animations, along with a simplified text tool. For Photos and Carousels, users can now add text and layer images using stickers.

Instagram now allows users to add up to 20 photos, videos, or mixed media in Carousel Posts, doubling the previous limit of ten photos or videos.

Instagram now allows users to add music to their Carousel posts that include videos. Previously, users could only add music to Carousels composed of photos. When music is added, the sound from the video(s) is muted.

Instagram has added a new way to reorder photos and videos in Carousel posts.

Instagram has rolled out updates for Carousels. A new Resize option is available during post-editing, allowing users to select the 'Original' option to share photos in their original dimensions, including those of different sizes (e.g., portrait, landscape), without altering their dimensions. In addition, some users can access a native text tool to add text to images in carousels.

A few months ago, LinkedIn announced that it would be discontinuing certain features, including Carousels, Profile Videos, and Clickable Links.

When users tap Post from mobile and then Use a Template, they can access dozens of templates with customizable backgrounds and fonts to create and share a post.

In a recent announcement, LinkedIn introduced Carousels, a new content format that allows creators to share swipeable photos and videos.
