Statusbrew allows users to create and schedule stories for Instagram Business Accounts both from the web and mobile apps. Due to Instagram API limitations, publishing Instagram Stories via Statusbrew is only possible using push notifications using the mobile app.
Before proceeding, please make sure that you have installed Statusbrew mobile app on your smartphone (iOS/Android).
Scheduling An Instagram Story
From your Compose window, you can create & schedule stories with a single image or video file.
