Instagram users who operate business accounts can now schedule posts and Reels up to 75 days ahead directly from their mobile devices. Previously, this required third-party tools or desktop solutions like Meta Business Suite. This update simplifies scheduling, making it accessible through the iOS or Android app.
The only requirement is having a professional account. If you use Instagram for business, you probably already have one. If not, upgrading from a standard account is simple and free. Now, let’s delve into utilizing Instagram’s post scheduling feature.
