The first image is displayed in your feed and blue dots at the bottom of the photo lets your followers know that they can swipe to see more images. Adding multiple images and videos is super easy:
On your profile grid, your followers will see an icon in the upper right side of a photo to let them know it is a post with multiple images. They just need to tap and swipe on the photo to see more.
