Facebook Pixel Studio against Instagram Scheduler Services

Instagram Marketing

It seems that Facebook is going to change Instagram completely. They had an analyze over Instagram Bots and now they ban all users who are using Instagram Automation tools like Instazood, Instavast, SocialCaptain, Gramista… But the other services mostly schedulers for posts are OK to use now.

But recently FB provided Pixel Studio. It lets users who have connected their IG to Facebook and are business accounts, to schedule their Instagram and FB posts.
It has some limits like you cannot edit after setting posts, but It will be better bypassing the time as FB always tries to improve its services.

The problem is there are many agencies like Hootsuite, Later, Jarvee, Buffer, Instazood, Instavast, Gramto… which still have their schedules and they are working with no problem because they are not against FB/IG policy.

But when a free tool from the source is out there, many people may not use automation services anymore as there is a free one from the source FB.

Facebook is destroying the market of side apps who are now benefiting from IG and FB and FB want to take all the advantages of its service and do not like to share its market with others.

It has much information based on the data gathered during these years from Instagram, Whatsapp and Facebook itself and knows what users are doing. They can guess users’ activities and decide what to do to satisfy them, and know how to it exactly. It knows how to make money and showed it by ruining all side programs, and introducing Ads. People will need no more on any side apps for their Instagram or Facebook. All sink in FB program and have to decide for new services to provide but in my personal opinion, FB will not let them do that by optimizing and improving their current tool.

What’s your idea about this? Glad to hear your opinions.

Yeah FB dont want to let others make money without them. Thats why they are also hiding likes, so brands will not be able to measure Influencer promotions, they will rather go with FB ads.

I use daily Hootsuite to schedule my Instagram posts and, even the free version is pretty good (limited to 30 scheduled posts). I also tested a few times the facebook version and obviously is not as good as Hootsuite right now, but it could be.

I will have to agree with you, I think once facebook betters his tool probably will ban third part apps. They are limiting more and more how we use the plataform, all in the name of a spam-free community (not that I’m not getting multiple dms daily for obviously scammy people).

We will have to wait and see.

*edit: forgot the ‘are’ hehe.

Not sure if it will ban authorized apps at this time, for normal users the tool works fine, you can schedule with no problems, this is what FB wants, everybody in their platform, I’m sure they will include the ads to the tool soon, so will be one-stop shop, and them if I was FB I would ban all third party apps.
