Why can't I schedule Instagram Reels on Meta Business Suite?

Scheduling Reels lets you plan and create content in batches, saving you significant time. Instead of having to be present to post content daily, you can set aside specific times for content creation and schedule your posts to go live at the most opportune moments. This efficiency is crucial for individuals or teams managing multiple social media accounts.
