This post is for you if:

  1. You use Preview to schedule your posts
  2. You posted a Collab post on your Instagram account, and
  3. This posted Collab post doesn’t show up in your Preview App

Let’s start.

Why the Collab post doesn’t appear in Preview?

Because Instagram doesn’t have a system to automatically load Collab posts in other apps and websites – at the moment.

Loading posted Collab posts in other apps is NOT approved by Instagram.

Preview has been officially reviewed and approved by Instagram.

This means the features in Preview are the features that are approved by Instagram.

So we created a safe feature for you to load – manually – your Collab posts in Preview.

Here is how to use it.

How to make a posted Collab Instagram post appear in Preview App?

Use the “Placeholder” feature in Preview, like this:

  1. Take a screenshot of your Collab post
  2. Press + in Preview
  3. Choose “Placeholder”
  4. Choose “Add cover image from Library”
  5. Choose the screenshot image
  6. Choose a type (don’t worry if it’s not a Reels or IGTV, just choose one of them)
  7. Set a day and time when you posted
  8. Add

Done.

The Collab image will appear in your posted feed in Preview.

Here are the steps with images:

posted collab
posted collab
posted collab
posted collab
posted collab
posted collab
posted collab
posted collab
posted collab

That’s it!

That is the solution for now.
