Preguntas frecuentes (FAQ)
When is the best time for Instagram posts?
The absolute best time to post on Instagram is Tuesday through Friday between 9 and 11 AM (in your timezone). This window has historically the highest engagement rate in 2026.
Which day is the best for Instagram?
Tuesday is statistically the strongest day of the week for Instagram posts, closely followed by Wednesday. The weekend (Saturday and Sunday) has the lowest organic engagement.
When is the worst time?
Avoid posting between 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM. Almost no users are active at that time and the Instagram algorithm penalizes posts that don't gather quick interactions in the first 60 minutes.
Are there differences by industry (B2B vs. B2C)?
Yes. B2B brands often see great success in the morning between 8 and 10 AM. E-commerce and entertainment, on the other hand, often perform well late in the evening or on Friday afternoons.
Is the timing different for Reels vs. photos?
Yes. Reels often perform extremely well outside of work hours (e.g., after 5 PM), as users have a deeper entertainment need than during a quick morning scroll. Still, 9 AM is a solid start for the algorithm.
