You can 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.
1 Instagram account = 1 Preview subscription.
2 Instagram accounts = 2 Preview subscriptions.

The Premium plan has “Unlimited Users”. Users are people that you can give access to your Preview feed (your team members or friends).

You can share your Preview feed (and features) with as many people/devices as you want.

Please note that you don’t need to get a Premium plan per device or per person. You only need one Premium plan for your entire team.

To add more accounts in your Preview App, please follow the steps here.

The 2 months for free is part of the Yearly plans. So when you subscribe to the Yearly plan, you will only pay for 10 months, instead of 12. You get 2 months for free!

Instagram doesn’t allow people to automatically tag private accounts at the moment.

This is a message from Instagram. Instagram needs you to crop your photo or video in the official Instagram post size.

Official Instagram sizes are between:

• Aspect ratio 4:5 (example: 1080x1350px), and
• Aspect ratio 16:9 (example: 1920x1080px)

This means you can also post square photos and videos (aspect ratio 1:1, or 1080x1080px).

Instagram doesn’t allow people to auto-post carousel albums at the moment.

Preview has been officially approved by Instagram and follows Instagram Rules and Policies to keep your account safe. We will add carousel auto-post if Instagram ever allows it.

For now, you can post your carousel manually.

Please click here to see how to post your carousel from Preview to Instagram (see Step 4). 

Instagram is having an issue with their login system for personal accounts at the moment.

Unfortunately some of you might not be able to login into your Preview app. Some of you might see a login error message on top of your screen. Please ignore it for now.

What you can do if you have a personal account and really want to use Preview now:

• Switch to a Creator or Business Instagram account (click here to see how to do it)
• You will be able to log into Preview (Make sure you select “Login with Facebook” once you are back inside Preview to login)

If you are new using Preview (you’ve just downloaded it) and you have a personal account:

• You don’t have to login to Instagram to use Preview.
• Just create an account and login later if you want to.

Instagram usually fixes issues within 2-3 days. We will try to see if there is anything we can do to help on our end.

Thank you so much for your patience!

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email us.

Instagram is having an issue with their login system at the moment.

This means that some of you might be having issues linking your Instagram with your Preview account.

This only affects personal Instagram accounts.

Note:

You don’t need to link your Instagram account to use Preview.
You can still continue using Preview without linking with your Instagram account (you can still plan your posts, post on Instagram without logging in to your Instagram account). You can log in with Instagram later (once Instagram fixes the issue).

What to do?

• Wait for a little bit until Instagram fixes the issue (login later).

If you can’t wait, try this:

• Switch to a Creator or a Business Instagram profile, and login with Facebook in Preview. Click here to see how to switch.

After switching to a Creator or Business Instagram profile, press “Login with Facebook” in Preview to login.

After doing this, if you have any questions and if these tips don’t work, please send us an email here.
