Speaking to India.com on these changes brought by Instagram, Mayur Jumani, Digital Content Creator, Music Composer, Singer and Founder of Aux Media says, “I was eagerly waiting for a feature like this. It’s very helpful for creators like me to efficiently plan our posting calendars. I usually create my content in the first few days of the week so I can focus on other things later. But, just for posting, I had to block an hour before the upload date & time. With this tool it becomes even more liberating.”
