But these new ads are much more than just clickable. Carousel ads are a new way for brands to share more images with people interested in their posts. With these ads, brands can now upload up to 4 images in a “carousel” which user can navigate by swiping right on the images.
The possibilities are endless, as Instagram explains:
Instagram is introducing this new format on a limited basis to selected advertising partners. Over the coming weeks, you may start to see carousel ads in your timeline, also depending on where you are.
And of course, if carousel ads were to become popular, we might soon see a similar feature coming to user accounts too, who knows?
