On third-party apps, there is usually an option to upload multiple photos at once.

3. What is the maximum file size for photos uploaded from a computer to Instagram?

The maximum file size for photos uploaded from a computer to Instagram is 8MB. If your photo is larger than this, it may not upload properly or may take longer to upload. It's recommended to resize your photos to 1080x1080 pixels before uploading to ensure they meet the size requirements.

5. Will the photos I upload from my computer appear in my Instagram feed?

Yes, the photos you upload from your computer will appear in your Instagram feed just like any other photo you post. However, keep in mind that posting too many photos from your computer at once can be seen as spammy and may affect your engagement. It's best to mix in photos taken and edited on your phone for a more authentic feed.
