Times are in your audience's timezone, not yours.
Best windows: TikTok
The grid averages the public Buffer, Sprout Social and Later studies from 2025-2026. Averages across millions of accounts are a good starting point, but 2-3 weeks of your own analytics will beat them.
How it works
- 1
Pick a platform
Each has its own rhythm: Reels peak in the morning, TikTok after lunch, Telegram during commutes and evenings.
- 2
Find your windows
Yellow cells are activity peaks. Post 15-30 minutes before a peak so the algorithm has time to spread your video.
- 3
Test on your audience
Post into different windows for 2-3 weeks and check your platform analytics: your numbers always beat the averages.
