Can you schedule tweets for free?

Yes. On x.com, the post composer has a Schedule icon that lets you choose a date and time for a post, at no cost and without Premium. Scheduling tools such as Wavnil offer free trials if you also want threads, other networks or reusable time slots.

Can you schedule a tweet from the X app?

Scheduling is built into the web composer on x.com, and it has been limited in the iOS and Android apps, depending on the account. If you don't see a Schedule icon in the app, open x.com in a browser on a computer, or prepare the post in a scheduling tool.

How do I see my scheduled tweets?

On x.com, open the post composer, select Unsent posts (it may be labeled Drafts), then the Scheduled tab. You'll see every scheduled post with its date and time, and you can open one to edit it, change its time or delete it.

Can you schedule a thread on X?

X's built-in scheduler is designed for single posts, so the simplest way to schedule a whole thread is a scheduling tool. In Wavnil, you write each post of the thread in the same editor, and the thread is published in order at the time you choose.

How to Schedule a Tweet on X in 2026 (Web, X Pro and Tools)

To schedule a tweet, open x.com, write your post, click the calendar-shaped Schedule icon at the bottom of the composer, choose a date and time, click Confirm, then click Schedule. It's free, it doesn't require Premium, and your scheduled posts wait in the Unsent posts section of the composer until they go live.

X now calls tweets posts, but the feature works the same way. This guide covers the native scheduler, X Pro for teams and several accounts, and when a scheduling tool is the better choice, with X's limits checked on September 29, 2026.

How to schedule a tweet on x.com

Go to x.com on a computer and click Post, or use the composer at the top of your Home timeline.
Write your post: up to 280 characters, or up to 25,000 with Premium. You can add up to four media items, such as photos, a GIF or a video.
Click the Schedule icon, shaped like a calendar, at the bottom of the composer.
Choose the date and time, and check the time zone shown.
Click Confirm. The Post button now reads Schedule.
Click Schedule. The post is queued on X's servers and goes live at that time, whether your computer is on or not.

According to Brandwatch's guide, x.com accepts dates well over a year ahead, up to 18 months.

How to see, edit or delete scheduled tweets

Open the post composer on x.com.
Select Unsent posts (depending on the version, it may be labeled Drafts).
Open the Scheduled tab to see every post waiting to go out.
Select a post to edit its text or media, change its date and time, or delete it.

Can you schedule tweets from your phone?

The scheduler is part of the web composer on x.com, and its availability in the iOS and Android apps has been limited and varies by account. If the Schedule icon doesn't appear in your app, prepare the post on a computer, or in a scheduling tool that publishes it for you.

Scheduling for several accounts with X Pro

X Pro, the former TweetDeck, shows several timelines side by side and lets you schedule posts for each account you manage. According to X's Help Center, access to X Pro is part of the Premium+ tier.

Sign in to X Pro and click the post button.
Check that the right account is selected.
Write your post and add images or a video.
Click Schedule post, choose the date and time, then click Schedule post at the time you picked.

Add a Scheduled column to see and edit what's queued. In a shared setup, keep in mind that X Pro shows every scheduled post of the connected accounts to anyone with access.

When a scheduling tool makes more sense

X's scheduler covers the basics. A tool becomes worth it when you:

Publish threads. Write every post of the thread in one editor and publish it in order.
Post on several networks. Schedule the same idea on X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky or Instagram from one calendar, adapted to each.
Want fixed time slots. Define your best hours once, and let each new post fill the next free slot.
Want to boost the posts that work. In Wavnil, Plugs can repost a post or add a follow-up reply automatically once it takes off.

In Wavnil, you connect your X account, write a post or a thread, choose who can reply, and pick a date or a time slot. You can also post to an X Community, and mark a post as made with AI or as a paid partnership.
