Twitter will now let you schedule your tweets, save them as drafts on the web app

Microblogging site Twitter has introduced two new features for its web app. Now users can save a tweet before sending it and also schedule a time for it to be automatically posted. The company announced that these features will be available to users in the web application and not the mobile phone version for now at least.

According to Twitter, while typing in a new tweet, you will see a calendar icon beside the emoji icon at the bottom of the window. Click on that and select the date and time when you would like to tweet the post. Using this will be similar to scheduling a tweet via TweetDeck.

Earlier, Twitter had introduced the scheduling feature for only a select group of web users. This move will come in handy for frequent users of social media platforms like online influencers and news sites.

Right now, Tweet drafts saved on desktop or mobile web will be accessible via desktop or mobile web only.

Apart from making the work of timely tweeting easier, the feature will also help people who work via tweets.

According to Twitter, the drafts saved on the web version of the app will be synced to the desktop only. The same goes for mobile devices. Hence, you will have to use mobile phone to access the draft through the phone version of the app.
