Post a carousel or a Story
Add several photos or videos to one post to make a swipeable carousel, or post one file as an Instagram or Facebook Story.
Updated
Steps
- In New post, drop several files at once, or tap + Add more after the first. Up to 20 files.
- Drag them into the order you want, or use the arrows under each one. The first file is the cover on Octoque's cards.
- Pick your accounts. If a platform can't take these files, a note says why with a Leave it out button.
- For a Story: under Platform settings, set Instagram or Facebook to Post as: Story. A Story takes one file.
- Schedule as usual.
What you’ll see
The preview shows the carousel with dots and arrows, or a Story frame, and says Posts as: Carousel or Story.

From the Library
Select several files in Library and tap Make a carousel. New post opens with them in the order you picked.
Stories
Stories show no caption, so the caption, first comment, collaborators and Auto DM are left out for them. Stickers and links in Stories can't be added by apps; add them in the app after it posts if you need them.
Troubleshooting
X takes up to 4 files in one post. Leave X out, or remove 1.
Remove files until it fits, or tap Leave it out for that platform. Other platforms still get every file.
A Instagram Story takes one file. Remove files, or post it as a regular post.
Switch Instagram back to Post as: Post for a carousel, or keep one file.
