Instagram has launched a number of features this year, including remixes for reels, shopping options, new stickers for links, public threads and more. To make the platform more user-friendly, Instagram will now allow users to schedule their live streams. Users will be able to schedule up to 1 hour to 90 days in advance with a reminder for them. It can help builders create buzz about posts, countdowns and any event from 90 days in advance.
