New Delhi .Social media platform X has made a big change in the facility of sharing photos and videos for its users. Now users will be able to upload maximum 20 photos and videos in a single post. Earlier, only four media files were allowed to be added with a post on the platform. With the implementation of the new feature, users have got the option to share more photos and videos simultaneously. The special thing is that this change eliminates the old limit which has been going on for about 10 years.
After this update, there will be no need to create separate posts to share multiple photos of an event, trip or special occasion. Users will be able to add photos and videos of their experience in a single post. This will make it easier to present the post in an organized manner. This can especially benefit those who regularly share event updates, travel photography, marketing materials, and other visual content.

However, this feature increases the number of media shares within a single post, rather than completely eliminating the need for individual posts.
