Important:

• Only Instagram Business Profiles and TikTok Business Accounts are able to Auto Publish. Creator and personal profiles are restricted to notification publishing
• Auto Publish must be enabled before you’re able to use it. See How to Enable Auto Publishing if needed
• Instagram Stories must be posted using notification publishing
• Auto Publish for TikTok is not currently available for Android

How To Change Your Posting Method

If you’ve enabled Auto Publishing, you can switch an Instagram or TikTok 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 an Instagram Story. Due to Instagram restrictions, Stories 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 or TikTok. Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest post automatically once the profile is connected. Notification publishing is only available for Instagram and TikTok.
4. You're scheduling a TikTok post from Later's Android app. Auto Publish for TikTok is currently only available through Later on the web and Later's iOS app.
