Vista Social allows you to automatically delete posts after a specified time. This is useful for time-sensitive content, temporary announcements, or campaigns that should only be visible for a limited period.
What this feature does
The auto-delete feature lets you schedule a post as usual and define when it should be removed from the social network. This gives you control over how long your content stays live.
Supported networks
- Bluesky
- Threads
- Tumblr
- YouTube
Note: You might need to reconnect your Instagram profile to enable this feature. |
How to set up auto-delete
- Go to Create → New post
- Create your post as usual
- Enable auto-delete after
- Select the date and time when the post should be deleted
- Click Schedule or Publish
Important: The delete time must be set after the publish time. If the delete time is set before the publish time, the post may be deleted immediately after publishing. |
Managing auto-delete after publishing
After the post is published, you will see a label indicating that the post is scheduled to be deleted. You can update the deletion time or disable auto-delete at any time. If disabled, the post will remain live.
Once deleted, the post is removed from the social network. It will still appear in your calendar and history with a note indicating that it was deleted. This ensures you retain visibility into past activity and performance.
