5 apps for scheduling Instagram posts on iPhone and Android

Alright, we get it. You're an Instagram Nostradamus.

You know exactly what you want to post and when you're gonna want to post it. Maybe there's a meme or comment you want to make that you know will be totally relevant for a future moment or event. Or it could be that you're an influencer and you want to make sure you keep a steady stream of content coming, so you want to schedule posts for times when you know you won't be active (or won't have internet access).
