Instagram Stories scheduling is here

You can now prepare, preview, and schedule Instagram Stories, on web or mobile! It's available, along with other advanced Instagram publishing features, on our new Publish Premium plan.

Analyze now supports Twitter

One of our top feature requests for Analyze has been analytics for Twitter. You've asked, and we've listened! You can now connect your Twitter profiles to Analyze to…

• See how your key metrics have grown over time
• Understand how each of your tweets have performed
• Know when, what, and how often to tweet to maximize engagement rate

Bonus: Analyze now also has a Pro plan! At $35 per month, you get in-depth social media analytics, strategy recommendations, and unlimited reports. If you are just getting started with analytics and reporting, we think this will be ideal for you.

Add notes to your charts

While having charts in your social media reports is great, being able to add a comment is even better! With chart notes in Buffer Analyze, you can now explain trends in your graphs, big changes in your key metrics, or highlight an important detail. The notes will also be included in your PDF report when you export it.

Coming soon… Instagram user tagging

We're eager to help you publish to Instagram without having to leave Buffer at all, and a small but exciting step towards that is being able to tag other people and brands in your photos. This is coming very soon - stay tuned!

Have a great rest of your week. We'll be cheering you on!

P.S. I understand things can get busy near the end of the year. Do take care of yourself! Our CEO was totally burnt out two years ago and had to take four weeks to recover. Read about his experience on our blog.

Hi there,

If you've been using Buffer to schedule to Instagram, I bet you've wondered whether Stories scheduling would ever come … 🙏

Well, the time is now! 🎉

You can now prepare, preview, and schedule your Instagram Stories ahead of time, on web or mobile, so that you have everything ready to post with a single push notification.

We hope this makes planning your Stories a whole lot easier and helps you post awesome content - consistently and with confidence!

This is the newest feature on our Publish Premium and Business plans, which you can try free for 14 days.

As always, thank you so much for trusting us to help you share your story (or Stories! 😉) on social media.
