Remove a post from a carousel post: How to do it
In addition to simple posts, you can also upload carousel posts on Instagram in which photos or clips are displayed as a kind of slideshow. Since recently, you can also delete individual photos from this slideshow without having to take down the entire post. To do this, proceed as follows:
- Call up the corresponding post on your Instagram profile.
- Tap the three dots in the top right corner and select “Edit”.
- Now swipe to the image you want to delete individually and tap on the trash can icon.
- Confirm by tapping on the tick at the top right.
- As the feature is still quite new, it is not yet available to all users. If the above procedure is not possible, check if you have the latest app version. If this is the case, you have no choice but to wait.
