Important Notes

  • Mobile preview matters more than desktop preview.
  • Requirements and UI placements can change, especially for Reels and discovery surfaces.

Best Practices

  • Check the image or video ratio before uploading.
  • Keep important text away from edges and interface areas.
  • Put the strongest message at the start of the caption.
  • Use a small set of relevant hashtags.
  • Preview the post before publishing.

Common Mistakes

  • Uploading the right size but placing text where it gets covered.
  • Treating Reels, Stories, and feed posts as the same layout.
  • Using a long caption without a clear first line.
  • Adding broad hashtags that do not match the content.
  • Publishing without checking mobile readability.
