It’s been a bit frustrating getting through all the steps and instructions and not being able to get my pre-written text over into the Instagram app like it’s supposed to. The instructions to say to tap in the caption area and then tap again. After I rebooted the phone, then I was able to publish – but the pasting of my text from the desktop Hootsuite app didn’t make it over into the Instagram app. Then I went to publish my app to Instagram and unfortunately, when I got in the Instagram app and clicked the ‘crop’ at the top, the app said it had to close. Instagram App Not Copying & Pasting my Text Seeing the notification pop up on my phone is not happening, I need to go to the Hootsuite app on my phone and then I see them. Opening the Hootsuite app, I found several notifications I had set up from my desktop Hootsuite. When I carefully reread the instructions I saw I needed to check for notifications on the Hootsuite App, on my phone, not the Instagram app. I’d recheck settings and then try again – nothing! I searched and read and looked at all the settings several times. ![]() I went through all the steps and then set up a post but received no notification.

The software doesn’t distinguish accounts, it only knows that when the time comes, it sends the notification from Hootsuite to your phone. Here’s a link to the Hootsuite/Instagram Quick Start Guide PDF. It’s important to remember to schedule posts when you’ll be available to actually publish the post. We will need to remember that the post is only scheduled in Hootsuite, it must be published on your device/phone. We can now schedule Instagram posts – BUT – at the time the post is to go live, the user will get a notification on their phone that it’s time to actually go and publish the post. The solution given to us by Hootsuite is not perfect, but it’s something. ![]() With the rise of Instagram popularity, this feature has been needed. We’ve had the ability to schedule posts for all the other major social media platforms. Many social media managers and Instagram account holders have been asking Hootsuite when they will be able to schedule Instagram posts within this great web tool. ![]()
