Wondering how to schedule Instagram posts? In this Instagram tutorial, I'll be sharing how you can schedule Instagram posts on your iPhone and on your desktop.
By the end of this video, you'll know exactly which is the best Instagram scheduling tool so that you can schedule Instagram photos for free and automate your posts on Instagram. If you're excited about this video, make sure you like this video, hit the subscribe button and the bell to be notified every time I post a new video, and with that said let's jump right in.
We'll be using an app and website called Later to schedule Instagram posts both from our phone and desktop. If you don't have a Later account yet, click on the link in the description box below to sign up for free, as well as get 10 more posts per month for free.
With Later's free plan, you can upload up to 30 posts per month and all of these posts need to be photos. Since I upload a mixture of photos and videos each week, I use Later's Starter plan, which allows you to post up to 60 photos and videos per month.
To schedule Instagram posts from your phone, open the Later app, click on 'media' from the bottom, left-hand side, and then click on the plus sign to upload media to your Later account either from your photo library or to take a new photo or video. Select the Instagram post you wish to schedule, and then click on 'done' up top.
Once the Instagram post you wish to schedule has been uploaded to your media library, click on it, and then on 'create post'. Click on your Instagram profile, and then complete the option that appears on the following page. You can edit your Instagram post, type in a caption, add a first comment and link.in bio link, tag the location as well as tag users.
Up top you can select whether you want Later to auto publish your Instagram post at the scheduled time, which supports single image and video posts, or have Later send you a push notification to publish your post, which does not support location and user tagging. Since we want to schedule our Instagram post, and have this posting be automated, select 'auto publish', and then click on 'next' up top.
You can either have the Instagram post be published right now, or pick a time so that the Instagram post is scheduled for later. Let's click on this second option, select a date and time, and then click on 'set time' to schedule the Instagram post from your phone.
You can also use the Later website to schedule Instagram posts from your desktop. To do so, on the Later website, click on 'calendar' from the left-hand side panel. You can either select a post to schedule to Instagram from your computer using Dropbox or Google Drive, or you can click on 'upload media' to select a post from your documents. Once you've located the Instagram post you wish to schedule from your desktop, click on 'open'.
The post you just uploaded will now appear in this section. You can upload more than one Instagram post at a time, and then use the filters to sort by media usage and media type. The Instagram posts you add to Later to then schedule to Instagram will also appear in the 'media library' section on the left-hand side panel.
To schedule one of these Instagram posts on Instagram from your computer, you can either drag the media onto the calendar to schedule it, or click on it directly to open it up. Once the Instagram post has been opened, click on 'create post’ to create a post to be scheduled to Instagram.
From here, you can add an Instagram post caption with emojis, add the first comment, so if you don't want your Instagram hashtags to be in the caption, you can add them here, add a link to any web page in this linkin.bio section, so that when someone clicks on your profile link, and then on this Instagram post, they can be redirected to said website, add a location, and, if your Instagram post is a video instead of a picture, you can change the thumbnail cover as well.
At the bottom, you can select an exact date and time for this Instagram post to be scheduled on Instagram, and then choose whether you want Later to automatically upload this post to Instagram on your behalf on this date and time, or have it send you a notification on your mobile device on this date and time for you to manually post this Instagram post. Once you're done scheduling the Instagram post, click on 'save'.
