Show Instagram has released a long-awaited feature that allows users to delete a single image or clip from an already uploaded carousel. Previously, in order to delete one or more images from a grouped carousel, Instagram users would have to delete the whole post and start over. But as of today, users will finally be able to delete single images from groups thanks to an update that is rolling out to iOS users (with an Android update coming soon, too). Adam Mosseri, the head of Instagram, introduced the new update in a brief Twitter video post and demonstrated how it works on his iPhone. Users simply need to tap to edit the carousel post, swipe across to the image they want to remove, and press the delete button on the top left of the screen. The update comes four years after Instagram introduced the carousel option for the first time and allowed users to share up to ten photos and videos in a single post. The carousel deletion feature is one that should have been introduced a long time ago and has finally found its way into users phones, Mosseri adds in the video.
He also introduced another feature, called “Rage Shake.” As the name suggests, this feature allows users to vigorously shake their phones when Instagram is not working properly. This will cause the app to bring up Instagram’s problem report interface where users can share feedback on any bugs or errors they have encountered. Mosseri explains that after submitting a report, a team member will take a look at the bug and it will also help the company prioritize problem reports and other things that need to be fixed in the app. The ability to delete an individual photo out of a carousel is on iOS and coming soon to Android. Mosseri didn’t specify whether the carousel deletion function is already available worldwide or only restricted to users in the United States for now. “Rage Shake” is currently available both on iOS and Android but is limited to users in the United States for now.

One of Instagram’s newest features is one it probably should’ve had years ago: the ability to delete a photo or video from a post that includes several. So if you’re someone who’s fallen out of love with a picture (or a person) in one of your posts, but haven’t trashed it because you like the other images, now’s your chance to excise that malignant memory like a skilled social media surgeon. How to delete an image or video from an Instagram carouselFor those unfamiliar with the term, a carousel is a single Instagram Post that features two to 10 images or videos. They’ve been around since 2017, but it was only this week that Adam Mosseri, head of Instagram, announced that users can now delete one of those items without deleting the entire post. We’ll start by noting that you can’t delete one image from a two-photo carousel, potentially because that would make it a single-item post and mess with something inside Instagram, though we can’t say for sure. These steps will only work with a post stocked with at least three pieces of media. First, go to the post and tap the three dots in the top right corner of your screen. Ignore the bright red “delete” option, hit Edit and scroll to the image or video you want to send to the trash. Now, tap the little trash can icon in the top left corner of the image. Instagram will ask if you really want to scrap it, and you do, so hit Delete to confirm. Your problematic post has been cleansed. How to recover deleted photos or videos on InstagramAny deleted items will hang out in a folder deep within your settings for 30 days, and if you change your mind you can recover them before that time runs out. Or you can go in and delete them permanently so you’re not tempted to restore them at a later date. To find them, go to your main Instagram profile page and tap the three lines in the top right corner. Then go to Settings, Account, and Recently Deleted. Now, tap on the image you want and hit the three dots in the top right. You’ll have two options: Restore and Delete. Deleting anything from the Recently Deleted folder will erase it forever, while restoring it will put it back where it was—kind of. We say “kind of” because if you delete an image from a carousel and then restore it, the photo won’t go back to its original spot in the lineup. It’ll show up at the very end. This may not matter, but if you’ve carefully curated a group of pictures to tell a specific story or exude a certain aesthetic, this could ruin that. And if that’s a problem for you, just reupload the whole batch—maybe you’ll get more likes this time around.  Can you remove one photo on Instagram?Instagram chief Adam Mosseri explained in a Reel that users can delete a specific post from a carousel of images or videos by tapping on the three dots above any post.
