• Carousel (Multi-Photo) posts and Stories must be posted using notification publishing

How To Change Your Posting Method

If you’ve enabled Auto Publishing, you can switch an Instagram post between Auto Publishing and notification publishing at any time. Here’s how: 

1. Create a post or open a post that is not yet published from your Later Calendar
2. At the bottom of the post editor, click the current posting method
3. Click your preferred posting method 

Auto Publish Option Not Shown

If you're not shown the option to Auto Publish in the post builder, it’s likely that one of the following is true: 

1. You’re posting a Multi-Photo (carousel) post or an Instagram Story. Due to Instagram restrictions, these post types can’t be auto published.
2. You haven't enabled Auto Publish or you need to refresh your profile.
3. You’re creating/editing a post that isn’t for Instagram. Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest post automatically once the profile is connected. Notification publishing is only available for Instagram and TikTok.
4. You’re creating/editing a TikTok. TikTok posts must use notification publishing.
