Compared to the previous year, Instagram has completely transformed, introducing new icons and a range of features to develop its vibrant community of young and trendy users. From the Stories feature to Boomerang and the latest addition of live video streaming on Instagram. However, there's a popular feature on Facebook that Instagram is yet to adopt – scheduled posting. Human nature is busy and forgetful, so it's understandable if you forget to post on Instagram thinking you've already done it.
Now, Instagram users no longer have to worry about this because the scheduled posting feature has been added to Instagram. All Android, iOS, and Windows users can use the scheduled posting feature, and they will be notified when their post is published on Instagram. So convenient, right? This will be an excellent tool for marketers, young entrepreneurs selling online on Instagram, and even for those with a wandering mind.
