Facebook Adds Instagram Scheduling to Creator Studio

Facebook Adds Instagram Scheduling to Creator Studio

Creator Studio was first rolled out in late 2017 for Facebook users to schedule posts, view insights, and monitor inboxes. Then in December of 2018, Facebook announced that it is testing a new Creator for Instagram, which lets users control their profile, simplify messaging, etc.

Facebook announced:

“With these options, creators can grow their passion into a business, making money with any combination of monetization products that makes sense for their content and audience,”

Instagram schedulers are a big help in managing contents and saving time. Although Instagram gave the API access to the third-party apps to schedule Instagram posts, it is now introducing Creator Studio, which schedules Instagram contents as well.

Overlooking, some Instagram bots which don’t work well and all they do about scheduling is a notification to remind Instagram users to post on Instagram, there are some Instagram bots that schedule Instagram posts completely, and you don’t even need to be logged in in the Instagram app, such as Instazood which is the best Instagram bot and provides not only Scheduling posts but also sending auto direct message, managing comments, auto follow/unfollow, giving you real followers, etc.

It seems that Facebook just wants to give a reason to Instagram users to link their account to Facebook. Because many people have not linked their Instagram accounts to Facebook yet, and it is encouraging people to link their accounts. Anyways, the new feature provides you to both publish and schedule posts to Instagram and share video on IGTV.

The good news about Creator Studio:

As you know, Instagram users could only check their direct messages on their cellphone, but by using Creator studio, now they can check their direct messages with their computers. By using Creator Studio, you can manage posts, publish the content from your computer, and check your account’s insights.

By using Creator Studio, you can’t see all of the post and story’s insight; you can only see the insights for the posts and stories that you have posted since you have started using Creator account or changed your account to business mode. The best part about the insight is that it gives you information about your followers and audience, such as their gender, age, and location.

Note: It only works on a computer, and it is not available on a cell phone.

Here are some of the Creator Studio’s features:

  • Content library
