To err is human. To edit, divine. That's hardly refutable. But, talk about Instagram and there might be a problem with this adage. ๐ซ
Here's an invaluable hack for budding Instagrammers. Should you spot an error in your post, do not edit your post. The Instagram algorithm resets your engagement ranking every time you edit a post after posting it. This could cost you a lot as the engagement you have generated for the post in question is going to lose its value.
Here's what you should be doing instead. If your post is gaining traction, wait till the comments and likes stop rolling in. Once the post is no longer attracting significant engagement, let the fixing begin. โ
