Best time to post on Snapchat Spotlight

Audience's local time

Short answer

  • Weekday afternoons 3 - 6pm, after school/work
  • Weekend late mornings 10am - 12pm
  • Evenings 8 - 10pm across the week

These are general audience-activity patterns, not a prediction for your account. Your own posting-time analytics, where the platform provides them, beat any generic guidance.
