Unfortunately Instagram changed their hashtag system suddenly and removed their automatic hashtag suggestion tool for all apps and websites (like Preview).

Hopefully they will bring out another hashtag suggestion tool soon. When they do we will add it back in Preview straight away.

For now, here is what you can do:

1. Use the Hashtag Finder (we will add more hashtags soon)
2. Save your favorite hashtags in Preview so you can re-use them whenever you want

Preview allows you to manage one Instagram account for free. Then you need to get a Pro or Premium plan for each Instagram account you want to manage in Preview.

The Premium plan has “Unlimited Users”. Users are other people that you can give access to your Preview feed. You can share your Preview feed (and features) with as many people/devices as you want. Please note that you only need one Premium plan. You don’t need to get a Premium plan per device.

Are you seeing this message:

“Account not found. Create an Account by selecting one of the account options.”

This means that you don’t have a Preview account for the Instagram account you are trying to login with.
Preview has a new account system. You need to sign up and create a new Preview account.

Solution:

• Select one of the Preview plans (Free, Pro or Premium) to create a Preview account for your Instagram account.

If you had a Preview Pro plan, please select the Free plan to create your account, and then:

• Restart your phone
• Open Preview
• Wait for 20 seconds
• And your Pro plan will be restored

If this doesn’t work, please send us an email.

To restore a purchase, press the “Buy” button again then press “Restore Purchase”.

Please try this: press the “Buy” button again then press “Restore Purchase”.

If this doesn’t work, please try this:

• Restart your phone (don’t uninstall Preview, just restart your phone)
• Open Preview
• Go in your Filter Pack
• Press “Buy”
• Press “Restore Purchase”

If it still doesn’t work, please send us an email.

If you see an “Access denied” message, please try this:

1. Check that you have the latest version of Preview installed. This is important.
2. Please click here to remove Preview from your authorised apps
3. Come back in Preview. You should get asked to log in again to reauthorise Preview. Please log in again.

Preview doesn’t automatically post on Instagram yet.

The Instagram auto-posting system is in BETA version at the moment and is only available to some companies for testing purposes.

We will add it in Preview as soon as Instagram fixes the issues they are having with their current auto-posting feature.

For now Preview will send you a notification when it’s time to post:

• Select the photo you need to post
• Select Instagram
• Paste your caption & hashtags on Instagram (Preview automatically copies it for you)
• Post

If you would like us to send you an email when the auto-post is available, please send us an email here.

Unfortunately this is an issue with the Instagram system at the moment, not Preview. Preview doesn’t have any control over the Instagram photos. Your Instagram photos and videos load directly from Instagram.

Usually your photos and videos disappear and reappear a bit later.

• Please check if you have turned on the “Load recent posts” option in your Preview settings.
• You can restart your phone to see if it helps (don’t uninstall Preview – just restart your phone).
• Please check if you have the latest version of Instagram installed on your phone.

If none of the above help, please wait for a few days.

The posts usually come back a little bit later. You can still start planning your feed in Preview. Press on the “+” button to upload photos and videos.

Instagram might be having problems with its login system. Preview doesn’t have control over the Instagram login system.

Please try these solutions:

1. You don’t need to login to Instagram to start using Preview. You can use Preview without logging in for now. You can log in later when Instagram is back to normal.
2. Please restart your phone and try to login again.
3. Make sure you have the latest version of Instagram installed on your phone.
4. All we know are the tricks we share with you in this article: Please read these solutions.
5. A trick that seems to work: Some people managed to log in. They told us that they tried to login in over and over and over again, and eventually Instagram logged them in. If you can, please try to log in multiple times.

Hopefully Instagram will fix their login issue soon. They usually do within a few days.

Please check if you have allowed notification for Preview in your phone settings.

To check if you have the notification turned on for Preview, do this:

iPhone:

• Open your iPhone settings
• Select “Notifications”
• Find “Preview” in the list of apps
• Make sure “Allow Notifications” is turned on and turn on all the ALERTS

Android:

• Open your Android phone settings
• Select “Apps”
• Find “Preview”in the list of apps
• Select “Notifications”
• Turn on “Allow notifications”and “set as priority”.

After checking your notification settings, please try this:

• Schedule a photo for 2 minutes in the future
• Go out of Preview and leave your phone
• Wait
• See if you get a notification

If you are still not getting a notification, please email us.

Unfortunately Instagram doesn’t allow anyone to rearrange or edit photos that have already been posted on Instagram. They are fixed.

You can use Preview to plan your future posts. You will be able to see how your feed will look like before you post anyhting on Instagram.

What happens when you paste once you are in your Instagram caption? Instagram doesn’t allow automatic pasting. Preview automatically copies the caption and hashtags for you and then you have to paste them once you are on Instagram.

Please have a look at this video to see how to paste your caption once on Instagram: watch the video.

What if your caption and hashtags disappear after you post on Instagram?

Please try this:

• Check if you wrote the same hashtag twice
• Check if you wrote more than 30 hashtags (Instagram hashtag limit is 30 hashtags per post)
• Check if you tagged the same account twice in your caption
• Check if your caption is not too long (Instagram has a limit)

Sometimes Instagram doesn’t post a photo or deletes the caption if we do those things.

This is an issue with Instagram (not Preview). Preview doesn’t have control over the Instagram login system.
Instagram is currently having problems with its login system, and it is impacting Instagram users (mainly European users).

Please restart your phone, and try to login again.

All we know are the tricks we share with you in this article.

A trick that seems to work:

Two Preview users managed to log in yesterday. They told us that they tried to login in over and over and over again, and eventually Instagram logged them in. If you can, please try to log in multiple times.

Otherwise, you can continue using Preview without logging in for now – and you can log in later.

Adding another Instagram account in Preview:

For now, please select “New Gallery” instead of “Instagram Account”.
You can log in your account later.

Hopefully Instagram will fix its login issue soon.
They usually do within a couple of days.
