A social network manager called Buffer has come up with a rather ingenious way to get around Facebook’s restrictions. It reminds you to post your message to Instagram, and through Instagram you can send your post to Facebook.

Here’s how it works: Buffer’s free account lets you sign up for up to three accounts; these can include a Facebook page, Facebook group, Instagram, Twitter, a LinkedIn page, or a LinkedIn profile. (Buffer also posts to Pinterest, but you can’t do it on the free account.) Let’s say you want to post a photograph from your phone to three different services — Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook — at 2PM today.

Assuming you’ve already downloaded the Buffer app and registered:

Once you’ve taken or selected the photo you want to post, share it from your photo app to Buffer.

Choose which account(s) you want to post the photo on by tapping on the plus sign on top. Type in any text that you want to include with the photo. You can also add additional photos or videos.

If you want to send different text to different services (for example, if you want to send hashtags to your Twitter account but not to your Instagram account), tap “Customize” at the bottom of the screen.

When you’re ready, tap on “Share.” You’ll be able to choose to share it now, create a custom schedule, or add it to a pre-arranged queue (a posting schedule that you can create). Assuming that this is a one-time posting, tap on “Custom schedule.”
