# Direct posting to Instagram

Direct posting to Instagram is supported for Business and Creator Instagram accounts (even Instagram accounts that are NOT linked to a Facebook Page 🤓). OneUp also supports [adding a first comment](https://oneup.crisp.help/en-us/article/first-comment-in-instagram-posts-yfy1o6/), Location tagging, Stories, and Reels for Instagram.

(We wish we could support direct posting to Personal Instagram accounts, but unfortunately these limitations come from Instagram 😕)

| However, OneUp supports Personal Instagram accounts via mobile notifications ( [see mobile notifications guide](/en-us/article/instagram-account-connection-help-ajni42/))
