Long time, no see.
If it feels like it's been awhile since our last update, please know that's because we are cooking up a major new feature, which we are very excited to release in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, today's update is all about Instagram: connecting accounts (without a Facebook Page!), scheduling stories, and including comments with your posts. Read on to learn more!

Now, onto today's updates!
New Features
Simplified Instagram account connection - You no longer need a Facebook Page connected to your Instagram account to connect it to Postpone!
Previously, the only way to connect an Instagram account to Postpone was to first link that account to a Facebook Page, then log into Postpone using your Facebook profile. This process was cumbersome and confusing to most users. No more.
Starting today, you can now connect Instagram accounts directly to Postpone, no Facebook Page required! This dramatically simplifies the Instagram account connection flow.
Schedule Instagram Stories - Instagram Creator accounts can now schedule Stories using Postpone!
Previously, only Business accounts could schedule Instagram Stories using Postpone. Thanks to the updated Instagram account connection, Creator accounts can also get in on the fun.
To schedule Instagram Stories with Postpone, first re-connect your Instagram account from Settings > Connected Accounts > Instagram.
Instagram First Comments - Include a first comment on your Instagram posts.
Improvements
Today's update includes a number of behind-the-scenes improvements as we prepare for the release of our next major feature. Stay tuned!
Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug where Bluesky posts containing links longer than 36 characters could have misplaced hashtag links if those hashtags appear after the link.
Closing
That's it for today!
