How Do I Post Instagram Reels?

Reels are like Instagram's short-form video content, and they can really boost your engagement on their platform. Because of this, SocialBee has a workaround to sharing them via Reminders.

Posting to Business Profiles Directly

To choose where you want to share an Instagram post, first, you will have to customize the post for each profile.

Then, for the Instagram profile, at the top-right corner, you will be able to choose where you want your posts to be shared from the drop-down menu – in this case, it should be Reel.

Posting to Personal or Creator Profiles via Reminders

Any post that does not match our requirements for direct posting, regardless of the reason, will automatically be set to publish via Reminders. So, make sure you have followed all the steps described in the article focused on our mobile app. When this happens, you will see a mobile phone at the bottom right corner of your text editor.

You will also see one in your category view, right next to the profile icon that will post via Reminders. In this case, the Instagram profile.
