Instagram post

Uploaded photo update

An Instagram post is a photo, video, or carousel of images shared to one's Instagram feed, typically with a caption and hashtags.

Unlike stories that disappear after 24 hours, posts remain on a user's profile permanently unless deleted.

The term often implies curated, polished content: She spent an hour editing her Instagram post.

To post or to make a post functions as the verb form.
