You need the Later app on your phone for it to work. You’ll receive a push notification at the appropriate time or you can manually submit it whenever you want from within the app. (bypassing the schedule)
If you want Later to handle everything automatically I believe you need a business account on Instagram and a paid plan on Later. At least the latter.
The last thing you need to keep in mind is that the Later app copies the text related to your post to the clipboard. So once it redirects you to the Instagram app you can simply paste it in the text box.
I tried several extensions for Firefox and Chrome. They work, but I get very few likes (much fewer than if I upload from a mobile device). I don’t know why, I have 30 hashtags.
Just a small note, but this is not hard to pull off in FF using Developer Tools:
Basically, just use Dev Tools to emulate a mobile device, and all of the functionality will become available to you (just like the mobile version, of course ).
Ah, I see. Sorry to hear that. It’s less than perfect on Mint too. I get a javascript error on startup / quit: “… app.css not found in /opt/Ramme/resources/app.asar” and “Uncaught Exception: Object has been destroyed at Timeout.intervalFunc …”
I tried it I think. I think the hashtags are ignored if you upload a photo with it. I get very few likes. Anyway I get more likes if I upload with the android app.
I’ve been using the Bluestacks android emulator that runs under Windows. Unfortunately they do not have a Linux version. I haven’t tried it but I think that you are supposed to be able to run Android-x86 from within Virtualbox. Info on the Android-x86 option is here: https://www.android-x86.org/
