Among every other social media platform, Instagram is the only one that’s beauty-oriented. Snapchat too is somewhat inclined towards filters but opening an Instagram account is like opening a gate to a beauty haven.
You too might have noticed that Instagram is all about showbiz and stuff. This social media channel is mostly used by the audience that’s aged between 18 to 34 which is quite young.
Instagram is filled with amazing features. From uploading pictures and videos to uploading stories and reels. Also, a wide range of filters would be applied to beautify the whole thing.
Instagram knows how to keep its users intact with the platform and that is why the channel comes with many upgrades. One of the developments, the developers made is that a user can upload more than one picture at once.
The benefit of this added feature is that you can showcase your brand better with multiple photos at a time. Unfortunately, every good thing has something bad with it too. So, this multiple-adding photo feature has some glitches with it too.
It’s brought to my attention that many people are unable to use this feature and among those people, I am included as well. This issue awakened the investigator in me and I did my research.
If you are someone who has recently discovered the problem of how Instagram won’t let you post multiple pictures at one time. I hope my investigation into this matter will benefit you too.

Why Can’t I Post Multiple Photos in a Single Go?
Instagram is all fun and good until it starts bothering you. Right?
This application is famous for unknown glitches and I’m here to let you know of the possible solutions for all those problems. Before coming to a solution, we’ve to diagnose what the problem is.
I often come across a query, which by the way is faced me too, that Instagram isn’t letting us post multiple photos in one go. See the following reasons to identify.
Network Issue
The internet might be not working fine. Network issues are one of the most common concerns that’s almost the reason for every problem we face on Instagram.
The internet is important to live our lives, just like groceries and electricity, we need to have an internet connection at our home all the time.
Too much use of the internet sometimes compromises its efficiency as many people are accessing the network from the same server at the same time. The load makes the network slow.
At the beginning of the month, we are allotted a certain number of MBs that we have to work with till the end of the month. Using almost all of them before the end makes the internet slow.
Technical Issues
Technical issues are rare but they sure are real. Application upgrading might be the culprit here.
For optimum use, your application must be up-to-date. However, it’s also important that the application works like a flow of water, unstoppable. A recent update sometimes comes in between that flow like a solid rock.
After we update our Instagram application, a bug might interfere with the app’s operations afterward. This might be the last thing possible coming in between your posting of multiple photos but this can be the reason.
Outdated Version
Outdated versions don’t allow the user to update multiple photos in one go!
Every time you see that Instagram or any application is asking for your permission to upgrade the file, allow that application to upgrade.
Developers know our queries and they work hard to meet our expectations. New versions of applications came up with solutions for the bugs that are interfering with the work process.
