Can you delete a single photo from a carousel post on Instagram?

As explained by Instagram chief Adam Mosseri, now, after you’ve uploaded a carousel of images and/or videos, you’ll be able to remove specific posts from that series by tapping on the three dots menu, selecting ‘Edit’, then tapping on the small trash icon in the top left of the image/video that you want to remove.

The option will provide more capacity to manage your Instagram posts, while also ensuring that you don’t have to delete and re-upload a carousel set if you later notice an error or issue with one frame.

Carousels have become one of the most popular post formats in the app, with a recent study by Mention/Hubspot finding that Carousel posts have overtaken both single image and video updates as the most engaging type of post. The capacity to build more context into your updates by adding more frames also makes this a particularly valuable format for brands – and now, you’ll have more ways to manage your carousel posts, which, if you ever need it, will be a very handy option.

As Mosseri also notes, Instagram has additionally added a new ‘rage shake’ feature, which will see a new issue report prompt activated if you shake your phone when Instagram is active.

Other apps have similar ‘shake to report’ functions, including Facebook, making it easier to share technical issues or glitches quickly, and in response to what may be a reflex action in some cases.

Then again, if you find yourself violently shaking your device in response to an issue with an app, it might be time to take a break from social media for a bit. Checking in on the latest memes is not that important.

The option to delete a single post from a carousel is now available on iOS, with Android coming soon, while ‘rage shake’ is only available in the US at this stage.

You no longer have to delete an entire post to get rid of an image in an Instagram carousel. Here's how to delete just one photo from the batch...

Previously, if you got carried away while uploading a carousel of images on Instagram, but later regretted posting one of them, you'd be stuck. You would either have to delete the post (the entire carousel of images) or just let it be.

Fortunately, for us who take our Instagram feed very seriously, Instagram's finally paved a way out of this dilemma.

Here's how to delete just a single image from an Instagram carousel.

How to Delete a Single Image From a Carousel on Instagram

When you upload multiple images on Instagram, you can easily remove one from the bunch without needing to delete the entire post.

The feature is quite easy to use. Here are a few simple steps with which you can delete an image from a carousel of images:

Tap on the three dots on the top right of the post. This will prompt open a menu displaying various options.
Select Edit.
Now when you swipe through the images, you will notice a small trashcan icon on the top left of each picture. When you come across the picture you want to remove, simply tap on this.
Choosing Delete will successfully remove the picture from the carousel.

Limits to the Feature

At launch, the feature is only available for iOS devices. However, since the feature has been highly requested by Instagram users in the past, Instagram head Adam Mosseri has relayed to the press that the feature will make its way onto Android devices.

Additionally, this feature comes with limited functionality, allowing only one image to be deleted per post.

Undoubtedly, the feature will come in handy but to maximize its use, Instagram's developers should roll out an update that is not only supported on Android but also lets users remove multiple images.

More Updates Planned For Instagram

Instagram has a number of updates planned for its app to improve its usability and customer satisfaction.

Hopefully future updates will include the return of a chronological feed and other user-friendly changes.
