How to Schedule Instagram Posts Using Creator Studio

There are many third-party apps available that let you schedule Instagram posts and stories.

But Instagram clearly disapproves of such third-party apps. Have you heard about the Instagram Creator Studio?

Sometimes these app can steal your login details, make you follow random people etc. It reduces the authenticity of your profile and when Instagram senses it, it will harm your profile’s organic reach.

Well, there’s a good news!

Facebook’s new creator studio lets you schedule posts not only on Facebook but also on Instagram.

Timing of the posts is one of the crucial things to take care of. Use the insights to find out at what time and on which days your audience is the most active.

One more thing that you can do is, see all of the posts you made in the last 30 days.

Filter out the ones who got a good reach and note down at what times they were posted. You might find a pattern.

From what I’ve seen from experience, there are two-time slots on which you’re more likely to get a good organic reach on your post. And it might even make it to the explore page.

You can check out the insights of your Instagram profile in the studio. Although there are no extra insights available in the Instagram Creator Studio, insights are exactly what you can already see in your app.

So, I guess the only benefit of Facebook’s Creator Studio for Instagram is that you can schedule your posts and access your DMs from a desktop.
