Instagramis testing a new featureagain. But this one actually seems pretty nice.
A spokesperson for Meta,nismel lucah the company that owns Instagram, confirmed to Mashable on Wednesday that it is "testing the ability to schedule content with a percentage of our global community."
Creators can already schedule their Live videosup to 90 days in advance, but this new feature would allow anyone to schedule their grid posts ahead of time. The change was first spotted by a few userswho had the option to try it out.

Here's how it seems to work:
Prepare a grid post.
Once you're at the final step — the one after you've finished editing, and can tag people, add a location, and other sharing options, scroll down to the bottom and click "advanced settings."
Here, you'll have the option to "schedule this post." You choose the date and time, and voila! You've scheduled a post.
As Meta said, not everyone has the option to schedule posts through the app just yet — the feature is still being tested. If you don't have the option but do want to schedule your posts a few days out, there are plenty of other ways to schedule posts through third-party apps likePlanoly, Buffer, and more.
