Twitter Rolls Out Native Scheduling Within the Tweet Composer Window on Desktop

After testing it out for close to a year, Twitter has today announced that it’s bringing native tweet scheduling and the capacity to save tweet drafts to its desktop app.

Your tweet drafts won’t be synched between apps – if you save a draft on desktop, you’ll only be able to access it on desktop, and the same for mobile saves.

Most social media managers have been scheduling tweets via third-party apps for many years now, and their routines are likely aligned around the systems they already use. In this sense, I don’t see a huge amount of people suddenly switching to Twitter’s native scheduling, though Twitter could place limitations on its API (like Facebook does) which would make it preferable to schedule through the app instead.
