Sick of the way your Instagram feed looks? You can change the order of photos in a photo dump to create an entirely new look.
Instagram unveiled the option to edit a carousel of multiple images back in November 2021. Not only can you delete photos from a photo dump, but you can also rearrange your photo album by deleting and re-adding images to it. So, if you want to keep all your photos in a carousel, but want a different order you can make that happen. This hack only works for photo dumps that have more than two photos because in order for it to work you need to keep two photos in the album at all times.

This is a workaround, so it’s a little imperfect and you’ll have to plan ahead. You need to remove the photos from your dump in a strategic way so that the photos left are the ones you want to be the first and second photo, then you’ll add the photos you removed back in the order that you want them to follow those first two images.
We will walk you through how this Instagram hack works.
