How to schedule Instagram posts in advance?

If you have a professional Instagram account (Business or Creator), you can schedule Reels, photos, and carousel posts. You can schedule up to 25 times per day and 75 days in advance through the Instagram app.

For more flexibility, Instagram scheduling tools like SocialBee let you schedule and post Stories, Reels, carousels, collaborative posts, and feed content.

You can also monitor your performance, collaborate with your team, answer comments, DMs, and mentions, preview your Instagram feed, auto-post the first comment, and get best-time-to-post suggestions. All of this is possible in just a few clicks.

What kind of Instagram profile can schedule posts?

To schedule posts directly within the Instagram app, you need a professional account, which can be either a Business account or a Creator account.

With SocialBee, a social media management platform, you can schedule content on all three account types. Business and Creator posts publish automatically, while Personal accounts receive reminders with the media and caption ready to post.

What is the best scheduler for Instagram?

The best Instagram scheduler depends on how much control you need. Instagram’s built-in scheduler is useful for publishing standard posts and Reels in advance, but it lacks advanced tools and does not support every format.

SocialBee offers more tools for your Instagram content strategy. It supports every Instagram format, including Stories and Collaborative posts, and adds features like bulk uploads, grid preview, auto first-comment posting, best-time-to-post recommendations, and more.

Did Instagram get rid of scheduling posts?

No. Instagram still supports scheduling for Business and Creator accounts. The built-in scheduler is limited because it only works with posts, carousels, and Reels, and you can schedule up to 25 posts per day and no more than 75 days in advance.

With an Instagram scheduler like SocialBee, you are not restricted by these limits. You can schedule every Instagram format, including Stories and Collaborative posts, and use advanced features like bulk uploads, grid preview, expiration dates, and first-comment posting. Plus, you can manage your Facebook Page and other social media platforms like X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, YouTube, Threads, Bluesky, and Google Business Profile.

Does Instagram have a scheduler?

Yes. Instagram includes a basic scheduler in the app and Meta Business Suite for Business and Creator accounts, but its Instagram scheduling options are limited.
