Twitter already offers the possibility that users can schedule your tweets both from the mobile application available for iOS or Android and in the web version, a feature that until just a few days ago was only available through the Twitter service, Tweetdeck or by resorting to other third-party platforms.
However, for many users it was a bit cumbersome to resort to this type of system and it was strange that a platform like Twitter did not allow programming Tweets as it could be done on Facebook for years. Fortunately, Twitter has decided to listen to users and it is already possible schedule tweets with the official app.
Scheduling tweets
Users who make intensive use of Twitter will know that they have always had to resort to platforms and services such as Later, HootSuite and the like, which for many have been an essential element in recent years, either by resorting to other applications or the aforementioned Tweetdeck owned by Twitter.
Through this programming it is possible to perform a publication calendar constant, so that you do not have to always be aware of the hours to make your publications. It is much more convenient to be able to program publications than to have to publish them manually.
This is key to avoid delays in publications and that they can be published just at the time they should do it. Actually, the programming of content on social networks is something really useful, not so much for conventional users but for brands or companies, in which it is about scheduling publications to be published at the established and most appropriate times.
In fact, after analyzing the time bands in which the publications have better interaction by users and greater visibility, it is ideal to be able to schedule them so that they do not go beyond that indicated time. For this reason we are going to teach you how to schedule tweets with the official app.
How to schedule tweets in the Twitter app
It's already possible schedule tweets from the Twitter app, so that you can write and schedule your publications in a simple and fast way. The process is very simple, but in any case we are going to indicate it to you step by step below so that you do not have any doubt.
The first thing you should do is go to Twitter and write your tweet as you normally do, adding image, text and links if you wish. Once you have prepared your tweet, you just have to click on the icon that appears at the bottom of the text box that it has a drawing of a calendar and a clock.
After clicking on it, the following window will appear:
In it you can find a new window in which you can choose the exact date, indicating the day, month and year, as well as the hour and minute.- Once this is done you will only have to click on Confirm, so that the Tweet is scheduled.
In that same window you will see a button called Scheduled Tweets, where you can see all the Tweets not sent, whether you have them as a draft or scheduled. In this way, if you regret it, you can delete the publication at any time you want or simply if you want to modify it to edit any topic.
You should be aware that the scheduling option is only available on the web at the moment, not in the official clients via application. However, keep in mind that it will probably not take long to appear. In any case, you can access from any mobile phone, going to Twitter through the smartphone browser to Twitter.com
In this way, Twitter continues trying to launch improvements to its services, a novelty that comes after the new functions and features that allow you to choose, for example, who can or cannot reply to your messages or the new design of the conversations.
Twitter and offensive responses
In order to avoid comments that may incite hatred or violence on Twitter, the social network created a moderation tool to warn users before responding to a tweet that could be offensive or harmful to other people.
The new update is of limited use and is available at the moment only for iOS devices and so far as a test so that the social network itself can control the misuse of the platform by some users.
At the moment it is unknown how Twitter classifies harmful language according to its policies. The platform must be able to deal with threats of violence and content that is related to terrorism, harassment and abuse.
The objective of Twitter is to give all its users greater coverage against possible malicious comments or other negative attitudes that may be given by some users of the social platform. For this reason, it works to offer a greater number of alternatives to users and that the platform can be more protected against abuse and the like.
Although free expression is a right, as stated by the social network itself in its document of rules and policies, it tries to make sure that all users can create and share their ideas, information, opinions and beliefs without limits, but it also tries to combat the abuse that is motivated by reasons of hatred, prejudice or intelligence. Above all, it tries to confront the abuse that seeks to silence the voices of those who have always been marginalized. For this reason, the platform tries to prohibit behavior directed at people with abuse that is based on the protected category.
In this way, Twitter follows in the footsteps of other social networks such as Instagram, where it already has a tool to warn users when a publication is made that is not going to be correct.
