Instagram Tests New Option To Comment On Specific Frames Within A Carousel Update

Imagine this: you’re looking through pictures of your favourite influencer’s holiday dump. You’re swiping left, and you stumble upon a picture that has you experiencing love at first sight. You want to comment on this specific picture but you can’t. Well, guess what?

Instagram has been testing this new feature that allows you to comment on specific frames within the carousel update. By commenting “@[number]”, you can leave a comment for a specific picture. The comment is then displayed along with a thumbnail of the specific post that you tagged.

This new feature can help marketers to drive more focused engagement and encourages interaction while also helping users to clear up confusion when commenting on carousel posts.
