Instagram Creator Studio: where it went

Creator Studio's Instagram tools moved to Meta Business Suite, and the name now belongs to a different app. Where to schedule posts, see insights and answer messages instead.

If you're looking for Instagram Creator Studio, the desktop tool for posting and scheduling Instagram content from a computer, it's gone. Meta moved its tools, including insights, monetization and Rights Manager, into Meta Business Suite, and accounts that had Instagram access in Creator Studio were moved over automatically.

The new Creator Studio is a different app

Meta now uses the Creator Studio name for an iOS companion app for Facebook creators, with performance summaries and an AI assistant. It's for Facebook Pages and profiles in professional mode, and is only available to people 18 and over in the US and Canada. It isn't the old Instagram tool.
