It seems such a “duh” tool to include that it is understandable users have been requesting it for years. Meta is finally correcting this feature gap by adding the ability to schedule posts on Instagram.

However, this is just in the realm of rumor at the moment. Furthermore, it also seems the app will receive a reels feature in the near future too.

Twitter leaker @WFBrother posted a screenshot showing the feature working. In response, a Meta statement confirmed testing of post-scheduling is currently underway with a subset of users around the world:

From the content provided by @WFBrothter, it seems creating a new post or reel in Instagram will come with the ability to schedule posts through Advanced Settings. Here there will be an option “Schedule this post” where users can set a date and time for when the post will go live. This schedule can be edited later if necessary.
