The Best Times to Post on Every Platform in 2026
By Priya Raman · May 28, 2026 · 8 min read
Posting time still matters — a lot. We analyzed 2.4 million posts published through Caroush to find when audiences are actually paying attention.
It depends on your audience, not averages
Generic 'best time' charts are a starting point, not a strategy. Caroush learns your audience's behavior and schedules each post when your followers are most active.
Quick benchmarks
- Instagram: weekdays 11am–1pm and 7–9pm
- LinkedIn: Tue–Thu 8–10am
- TikTok: evenings 6–10pm
- X: weekday mornings 8–10am
Rather than memorize this, connect your accounts and let the smart queue handle timing automatically.
