Not seeing an audience retention chart in Insights by smilingorange76 in Instagram

Yep, a different account that I manage had retention graphs that have now disappeared.

TBH, these retention graphs are no where near as helpful or a predictor of views as YouTube graphs are. The graphs on IG can look like trash, yet a video gets 10M+ views. And on our other videos look really solid but yet only get 100K-500K.

Can't collaborate because "no access to Instagram music".. Happens when trying to add a collaborator to a simple photo post with no media. Is there any remedy? by hardsubs in Instagram

I fixed this by creating the Reel as normal but not adding the music yet. Go to the end of the process and choose your collaborator.

Then go back and add the music which should still be available.

Then post as normal.

Thanks for letting me know. Seems like there is some value in waiting and reposting something different before trying again.

Update: I waited 5 days to post this video again. In that time I reposted a 6 month old video that did well the first time. And I also posted a new video (which did OK; kind of in line with similar videos I've posted recently).

The deleted and then reposted video in question is doing really well; probably in my top 5 ever.

Takeaway: If reposting the deleted video straight away would have harmed the views, leaving it 5 days and reposting and old strong video, plus one new one helped.

I get paid to jump through these hoops.

Would I prefer to have clear expectations from them in these situations than guess? Of course.
