Select Reel as the post type in the post editor and click Add audio

Browse the library and filter by Music (tracks from Instagram's music library) or Original audio (sounds created by other users)

Pick a track and balance its volume with your video's original sound

Preview your Reel with audio, then schedule it as usual

Music is available for Instagram Reels only. It isn't available for Stories, carousels, image posts, or Facebook Reels.

Tracks always play from the beginning. You can't trim a track or choose a custom start point yet, because Instagram's API doesn't currently offer this option.

For the full step-by-step guide, see Add Instagram Music to Your Reels.

Facebook Pages and LinkedIn companies: type @ and at least 3 characters, then pick the account from the suggestions.

LinkedIn personal profiles: type the person’s full name with a space between the first name and surname. Don’t use characters such as “_”, “-” or “.”.

X: tagging is back. Type the account’s full handle, e.g. @kontentino.

Instagram: paste the account’s handle. The tag is added to the caption, not to the image or video.

Direct mention: click the @ button in the editor toolbar and paste a Facebook Page link, a LinkedIn company link, or an Instagram handle. LinkedIn personal profile links don’t work here, because LinkedIn doesn’t let tools look people up by their profile address.

If no suggestions appear, the editor now tells you why and what to do, for example when a connection has expired or a permission is missing.

On X, there are no suggestions to confirm a handle before publishing. Copy the handle directly from X, because a typo will look fine in the editor but won’t link once the post is published.

On Instagram, we can only confirm business and creator accounts. For any other handle, the editor shows that it couldn’t confirm the account, but the post still publishes and Instagram links the mention if the account exists.

Brand names with multiple words, such as McDonald’s, L’Oréal, or Ben & Jerry’s, now show up in search correctly, so you no longer need to type an underscore instead of a space.

Hashtag suggestions while typing have been removed, because no network offers an API for them and they hadn’t been returning results for a long time. Hashtag presets still work as before.

To turn it on, switch on the Auto-schedule on client approval toggle for a profile in the calendar settings

When you send a post on that profile to a client for approval and the client approves it, the post is scheduled automatically

To turn it off, switch the same toggle off. Approved posts will then wait for you to schedule them manually.

Auto-scheduling is set per profile, so you can turn it on for some profiles and leave it off for others

Status changes are now validated before they're applied, so a post marked "Scheduled" is always actually scheduled
