This one matters if you use Reels strategically.
You can now schedule Trial Reels to automatically post and no, this isnāt Instagram yet.
Instagram has said theyāre āworking on the featureā (no confirmed launch date), but Metricool just rolled it out first.
Why this is a big deal š
Until now, Trial Reels required:
⢠Manual posting
⢠Being online at the exact time
⢠Extra friction for testing content
Now you can:
ā
Schedule Trial Reels in advance
ā
Test content without pushing it to your main audience
ā
Collect performance data automatically
ā
Optimize before committing to full distribution
This is a game-changer for creators, marketers, and anyone testing content at scale especially heading into 2026.
Think about it:
Less guessing.
Less burnout.
More intentional testing.
If youāre serious about growth, this makes content strategy smarter, not harder.
Iāll keep watching how this rolls out (and when Instagram finally follows), but for now this is a real advantage if you use Metricool.
If you want a breakdown of how to use Trial Reels strategically (what to test, how long, what metrics matter), drop a š or š„ below and Iāll share it here.
Staying ahead > catching up.
