As a general rule of thumb, the best time to post on Instagram is between <\/span><b>7 AM and 8 AM on weekdays<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Surprisingly, weekends are the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">worst <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">time to post because people are busy spending time with family and friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Experiment with your <a href=\"https:\/\/viralyft.com\/blog\/best-time-to-post-on-instagram\">post timing to see which time works best<\/a> for your followers.
