I think timing doesn’t matter that much, I started at random times and it worked fine, just let it run full 24–48h and judge after data.

During the testing phase, with Facebook and/or TikTok, does it matter what time I start running my ads? I see everyone suggest midnight, but as long as I give them a full 24 to 48 hours, can I start tests at 4am to 6am? Should I not do so?

yes you can start anytime, it doesn’t really matter much as long as you let the ads run long enough to gather data, i’ve tested at different times and results were similar

yeah you can start at any time, in my experience the learning phase depends more on data volume than the exact start time, so just let it run long enough and focus on results instead of the clock

in my experience it doesn’t matter much what time you start, performance depends more on targeting and creatives, so i just focus on letting the campaign run long enough and optimize based on data
