📢 WHAT’S NEW IN RECURPOST – JANUARY 2026
New year, smoother workflows. The last month was all about helping you create, test, and manage content faster – without extra clicks, credits, or waiting around.
Here’s what’s new and how it makes your social media life easier.
Instagram Trial Reels
You can now publish Instagram Trial Reels directly from RecurPost, making it easier to test content in front of non-followers before committing to your full audience.
Why this matters:
Trial Reels let you see how a Reel performs before it’s shown to all your followers. That means fewer guesswork posts and more confidence when you hit “share.”
What you can do now:
- Post Trial Reels straight from RecurPost (no mobile-only bottlenecks).
- If it performs well, they can be graduated to normal reels automatically or manually.
- Ideal for experimenting with hooks, formats, or trends – without risking reach.
Note: Instagram requires at least 1,000 followers to use Trial Reels.
Smarter Image Cropping for Every Platform
Our Image Editor now includes platform-specific cropping presets for social media.
Why this matters:
No more resizing the same image five different times or guessing aspect ratios.
You can now crop perfectly for:
- Bluesky
- And more…
This means faster content creation, fewer design headaches, and posts that look exactly how they should – everywhere they’re published. The image editor can be accessed from the three dot menu on the uploaded image.
Faster Profile Selection with Social Profile Grouping
Managing multiple accounts just got way easier.
You can now group social profiles and select them in one click instead of choosing accounts individually.
What this unlocks:
- Create custom groups (e.g., “All Clients,” “Brand Accounts,” “Personal Profiles”)
- Select entire groups instantly
- Works across:Dashboard, One-off posts, Plan Weekly Posts with AI, One-off post CSV uploads
Why this matters:
Less clicking, fewer mistakes, and a much faster publishing workflow – especially if you manage multiple brands.
Faster Instagram Reports
We’ve optimized performance for:
- Instagram Reports
- All Instagram Posts reports for organic data
What you’ll notice:
- Much faster load times
- Smoother scrolling and interactions
- Less waiting, more analyzing
Perfect for when you’re reviewing performance, building reports, or checking results on the fly.
The Big Picture
These updates focused on three things:
- Testing smarter (Trial Reels)
- Creating faster (cropping presets)
- Managing at scale (profile grouping + faster reports)
And we’re just getting started.
Got feedback or ideas? We’re always listening – and building.
