FAQ
Are these exact times guaranteed to work for my account?
No. These are general starting points based on common audience behavior patterns, not a guarantee. Your own platform Insights or Creator Studio will show when your specific followers are actually online, and that always beats generic advice.
Why does the best time differ by platform?
Each platform has a different usage pattern. Instagram gets grazed throughout the day, TikTok sees a strong evening spike, and YouTube tends to get longer sessions during downtime like lunch breaks and evenings.
Does my audience’s timezone matter?
Yes. The windows here are relative to where most of your audience lives, not where you post from. Check the audience location in your analytics if you are not sure.
Is my data stored anywhere?
No. The recommendation is generated in your browser from your platform and day-type selection, and nothing is sent to a server or saved.
