At Hookle, our social media management app is dedicated to helping small business owners succeed with their social media strategies. This blog post highlights one of the most common challenges they face when managing Instagram with third-party apps – and how Hookle can help.
It might seem surrealistic to even have to address this topic; one would expect the setup and publishing process for third-party apps to be simple and seamless for one of the world’s most popular social platforms. However, it has actually been quite a struggle - for users, developers, and even Instagram itself.
Recognizing these challenges, Instagram has now improved its process, allowing third-party apps to offer a much better experience.
The Struggle of Managing Instagram Through Third-Party Apps

Over the years, one of the biggest challenges for small businesses has been setting up and reliably managing Instagram through third-party apps.
Instagram’s setup process has required linking with Facebook, adding unnecessary complexity to an already time-consuming task. This setup has often led to failed posts and a fragmented social media experience, especially for businesses that prefer not to maintain a Facebook presence.
Traditional Instagram setup required Facebook linking, causing complexity and post failures
While social media management apps simplify managing multiple channels, Instagram’s additional requirements for linking and authentication through Facebook have created hurdles.
Small business owners have frequently encountered issues with scheduling posts, managing multiple accounts, and even ensuring successful postings. For many, this extra layer of setup has been a significant barrier to fully leveraging Instagram for their business.
