Hootsuite's Instagram Story Limitations
Hootsuite is great for managing multiple social networks, but when it comes to Instagram Stories, it has significant limitations:
No Interactive Stickers
Hootsuite cannot post Stories with Link Stickers, Polls, Quizzes, Questions, or any other interactive elements. These features are not supported by Instagram's official API that Hootsuite uses.
Basic Image Editor Only
Hootsuite only offers basic image editing - crop, resize, and filters. You cannot add GIFs, custom fonts, or design your stories within the platform.
Business Account Required
Meta no longer allows Hootsuite to connect personal Instagram accounts. You must convert to a Business or Creator account to use Hootsuite.
Notification Workflow for Stickers
If you need stickers on your stories, Hootsuite falls back to a notification system - sending you a reminder to post manually via your phone.
Storrito: Full Story Support
Storrito auto-posts Stories with all interactive elements, has a complete story editor, and works with any account type.
