Keeping an eye on your social media scrolling and screen time is key to maintaining a good headspace as a social media manager. From your profile, menu in the top right corner and select Your Activity to see how much time you’ve spent on the app each day.

2. Limit your scrolling time

In the same area, you can tap Set Daily Reminder and set a time limit for how long you want to allow yourself to spend on Instagram each day. The app will then send you a reminder when your allotted time is up.

3. See your liked posts

Want to find a post that you LOVED but don’t remember where you saw it? Go to your profile and tap the menu in the top right corner. Then go to Settings > Account > Posts You’ve Liked.

4. Save drafts for later

Started a post but aren’t ready to publish it yet? You can save it as a draft to come back to later! Tap the plus sign and choose the image you want to work with. Add filters or start writing your caption, then tap the back button a couple of times.

The app will alert you and ask if you want to discard your post or save it as a draft. Choose Save Draft to leave the app without losing your edits.

When you’re ready to post it, tap the plus sign again, and al your drafts will be available at the top of your photo choices to finish publishing.
