Posting a Reel has become more popular these days as a ‘Reel‘ is a video of up to 60 seconds in length, made up of a single clip or multiple clips edited together. You can add music, on-screen text, captions, and visual effects to your video in IG’s editor. High-performing Reel content can help you attract new followers and even bring in new customers to grow your business if you’re posting from a business profile.
Please note, that Reels can be posted now directly on ‘Instagram Business & Creator Profile‘, push-notification intervention is no longer needed while sharing Reels on Instagram Business & Creator Profile.

Posting Reel on IG Personal Profile
Reels cannot be posted directly on Instagram Personal Profile because Instagram does not allow scheduling tools to post Reels directly (automatically) over there, it’s against their rules & policies.
Therefore, we support Reel posting on IG Personal Profiles via push notification. All you need to do is add your content to RecurPost and schedule the post to get published on a certain date and time. We will send you the push notification on your RecurPost app downloaded to your smartphones or tablets at the specified time.
