Correct answer: Publishing the image to your Instagram account..
Why this is the answer
When posting to a personal Instagram account through Hootsuite, the final step of publishing the image must be completed manually within the Instagram app. This is due to Instagram's API limitations for personal profiles, which require direct user interaction for the final publication of posts. While Hootsuite allows you to schedule, compose text, select images, and even include shortened links, it cannot automatically push the content live to a personal Instagram account. You will receive a notification on your mobile device to open the Instagram app and complete the posting process. This limitation does not apply to Instagram Business Profiles, which can be directly published to from Hootsuite.
