Sometimes you can get a great idea for a tweet, but you don’t want to post it right away. While a number of third-party tools already offer tweet scheduling, Twitter itself has just launched this feature for its web application. If you use Twitter from its web version, you will find new options when composing your tweets. You can also save tweets as a draft, and schedule it to be sent at a specific date and time.
Twitter: How to set up a Scheduled tweet
This feature has been in testing for a while and is now extended to all users on Twitter’s web version. To schedule a tweet, users simply have to open the box to write the text and choose the calendar icon from the options. You will see that a new window opens to schedule the tweet per the date and time you want, according to your time zone.
Programming tweets can be useful for a variety of reasons. You may have a host of thoughts that you want to share with your subscribers. But, you may be reluctant to publish it all in a short period of time. In addition, some people in the Twitter community use tools to find out when their tweets receive the most engagements. So, a scheduling function can be useful here too.
If you want to check if you have already scheduled a tweet at that same time or take a look at the content that you have already saved, you just have to press the option “Scheduled Tweets” that you will find in the same window.
