Until recently, who needed schedule a post no Instagram had to use third-party programs for such a function. Because recently, Meta’s social network released this feature natively, within the app itself.

According to Instagram, it is possible for creators (who have switched to a professional account) to schedule a traditional post, a Reels or a carousel up to 75 days in advance.

Despite being a tool aimed at professionals, nothing prevents you from changing your account type and enjoying it. See how to do it below!

How to change your Instagram account to professional

Open Instagram on iPhone and tap your photo (bottom right corner). Then, go to the button represented by three little lines (in the upper right corner) and select “Settings”.

Tap on “Account” and at the end of the list, choose “Switch to professional account”. Finally, follow the next steps to finish the process.

How to schedule an Instagram post

Open the app and tap the “+” button at the top to choose the media you want to post.

Once you’re on the screen to insert subtitles, add the information you want and, at the bottom, select “Advanced settings” and “Schedule this publication”. Choose the desired date and time and tap “Set Time”.

Once this is done, go back to the previous screen, review the information and select “Program”.

Later, if you want to change the date/time or other information, tap on your profile picture (in the lower right corner) and go to “Scheduled content”. Tap the three dots to show available actions.

If you don’t have any publications scheduled, you can create them from scratch from this section as well. To do so, select “Schedule now”.

Very cool, don’t you think?! ????

Since the early days, one of the biggest complaints from Xbox owners has been the lack of massive exclusives on the console. Although Microsoft is working hard to try to reverse this situation by acquiring companies like Bethesda and possibly Activision Blizzard, executives themselves recognize that they have not reached the ideal level when it comes to releasing new games.

A few days ago, we found out that the paid campaign CrossfireX: Operation Catalyst would be leaving the Game Pass catalog soon, which put users on notice as CrossfireX is an Xbox exclusive. Unfortunately, it wasn’t long before the developer announced the complete shutdown of the game.

Launched in February 2022, CrossfireX ended up becoming one of the worst Xbox exclusives, causing the game to have an extremely short life cycle on the platform.

According to developer Smilegate, the game will disappear completely in May 18th. In addition to having already been removed from the Xbox Store and also from Game Pass, all purchases made in the last 14 days will be refunded. Anyone who already owns the game will not be able to play any of its modes following this date.

It is with deepest regret that we must inform you of our decision to terminate our service for CrossfireX. We want to thank each and every one of our players for playing and being a part of this journey with us. For full details, please visit: pic.twitter.com/Gl790Tn38T

Generally, when this kind of shutdown happens, single player mode can still be accessed, but this will not be the case in CrossfireX. The game’s solo campaign was developed by Remedy Entertainment, but it was heavily criticized for its short duration and poor enemy artificial intelligence.

This is certainly a big loss for Xbox, given the popularity of the Crossfire franchise. In any case, we hope that the company will be able to turn around and bring more exclusive weight to its players.

NVIDIA has released a fix for a recently discovered issue where leaving Discord open in the background limited the performance of some graphics cards.

According to a tweet from the company, the patch will automatically download when you log into Windows, so you don’t have to go through the trouble of manually downloading a graphics driver or other software update.

Recently, some users of cards like the RTX 3080 and RTX 3060 Ti started reporting an issue that was supposedly caused by a recent Discord update. The problem caused the GPUs not to reach their maximum memory clocks, missing around 200Mhz. This brought a small performance penalty when playing, which isn’t exactly ideal as Discord is designed to help you chat with friends while gaming.

GeForce users can now download an app profile update for Discord. This resolves a recent issue where some GeForce GPUs memory clocks did not reach full speed w/ Discord running in the background. The update automatically downloads to your PC the next time you log into Windows. pic.twitter.com/89nwugWQFF

According to NVIDIA, the fix comes as an application profile update. It used to be possible to apply it manually, but the process wasn’t exactly straightforward and involved downloading a profiler and then exporting, editing and re-importing profiles.

This is certainly good news for users. Discord has become the main communication platform between players, both on PC and consoles, even more so following recent integrations with Xbox and PlayStation.
