Design your Insta feed with Later’s latest update

July 11, 2017

Are you one of those people that likes to pre-plan their Instagram feed and make sure it looks exactly the way you want it to? Then it’s your lucky day! If you curate your Insta feed, then you’ve most probably heard of Later; it’s a visual Instagram planner that makes it easy to design your Instagram aesthetic, rearrange your photos and videos (although video scheduling is only available to paid plans), and create the perfect Instagram feed.

On Wednesday, Later pushed its latest update to both iOS and Android apps, which brought the visual planner from the browser into the apps. This is like Christmas come early to anyone who’s been using the tool to manage their feeds online, but needs to make updates with the app while on the go.

This update seems like a no-brainer, as most Instagram users manage everything on their accounts from their smartphones and tablets. After all, Instagram is still a “mobile-only” platform, despite recent updates that increase its desktop features slightly.

The Drag & Drop function works in the exact same way as it does on Later’s website, and to be frank – it couldn’t be easier.

To access Later’s new Instagram planning features, update your iOS app or Android app and follow the steps below:

Go to the “Schedule” tab and select your Instagram account from the top menu

Select the “View Grid” option (iOS) / “Preview” option (Android)

To rearrange the order of the photos, hold on one of the photos in order to enter edit mode

Drag and drop your photos from left to right or top to bottom to rearrange the look of your feed

Click “save” – ta-daa, that’s it!

So now you can view your existing Instagram feed with your scheduled Instagram posts at the tap of a button, and instantly see what your feed will look like. Want to swap out a photo, or rearrange photos to get the right look and feel for your feed? Just tap on your post in grid view, drag and drop your scheduled posts, and press save when you’re done!

B2B marketing feels slower because you’re selling to a buying group, not a decision maker. Forrester says the average buying decision involves 13 people and 89% of purchases involve two or more departments. Add three generations with different trust cues and you get rework, internal debate, and “one more version” forever. Buyers are also doing more research without sales, which makes guessing expensive. This LinkedIn Live with Tejal Patel is about buyer behaviour, trust cues, and what social is doing in research and validation, so you can build one narrative that travels across the group and saves your team time.

We’re only a couple of weeks into 2026, and social already feels…different, in the best way possible. This year isn’t just about flashy new features or the next viral sound; it’s about making the internet feel more human, more useful, and a lot less exhausting.
