How do I use the SocialPilot mobile app to schedule Instagram posts?

The SocialPilot mobile app comes into the picture when you scheduled a Post, Reel, or Story for a Personal profile because content can't be shared directly for personal accounts. You can use Insta mobile reminders for these instances.

1

You'll receive a push notification on your phone at the time you scheduled the post for.

Note: Please make sure you have all the notifications 'on' for the SocialPilot app. Also, make sure you are logged into the correct Instagram account beforehand.

2

As you receive the push notification on your phone, please click on the 'Share' button. 

3

You'll be redirected to your post in the SocialPilot app. Click on the 'Open in Instagram' button to publish it on your Instagram account. (And that's why you need to ensure that you are logged into the correct Instagram account beforehand).

4

As you click on the 'Open in Instagram' button, a pop-up window will appear asking you whether you selected the right account. Click on the 'YES, I AM' button. 

5

As soon as you do that, the post description will be copied to the clipboard automatically. 

Note: The post content is not automatically displayed in the caption area on your Instagram account. So, we copy your post content to the clipboard and then use the paste button to get the content into the caption area.

6

Now, you will be led to your Instagram account where you can edit your image with the Instagram image editor (if you wish to) and click on the 'Next' arrow in the top right corner.

7

Remember, we copied your post description to the clipboard? Press in the caption text box for long and select 'Paste' from the pop-up.

8

Your post content will be pasted. Click on the 'Share' button to share your scheduled Instagram post.

You have successfully shared your post on Instagram with SocialPilot's Instagram scheduling. You can also share Reels and Stories in the same way, using the SocialPilot mobile app.
