How it works
How to schedule Instagram posts in Social9
- 1
Connect Instagram
Connect an Instagram business or creator account linked to a Facebook Page. Personal accounts need to switch to a professional account first, which is free in Instagram's settings.
- 2
Plan or write
Paste a link or describe your business and the planner drafts a week of posts, or write a Instagram post yourself. Each draft comes in 3 versions.
- 3
Approve
Edit, approve or drop each post. On Approve first, nothing goes out without your OK.
- 4
Social9 publishes
Social9 publishes to Instagram at the time you set, and alerts you if a post can't go out.

FAQ
Instagram scheduling FAQ
Does Instagram have native scheduling?
Yes. Instagram lets professional accounts schedule posts in the app and in Meta Business Suite. It only covers Instagram and Facebook, so Social9 helps when you post to other networks too, or want AI to plan and write the week.
Is the Social9 Instagram scheduler free?
Yes. The Free plan includes Instagram: 3 social accounts on LinkedIn, Instagram, Mastodon or Bluesky, 20 AI credits a month and 10 queued posts per account, with no credit card. Paid plans start at $12/mo.
Why do I need a business or creator account?
Instagram only lets apps publish to professional accounts. Switching is free in Instagram's settings, and you keep your followers and posts.
Will Social9 post to Instagram without asking me?
Only if you turn on Full Autopilot. On Drafts only you publish yourself, and on Approve first every post waits for your OK. Quiet hours and a Pause button work in every mode.
What happens if a Instagram post fails?
Social9 retries posts that fail for a passing reason and alerts you when one can't be published. If Instagram needs you to log in again, you get a prompt to reconnect.
