San Francisco: Twitter is rolling out a key feature that will let both Android and iOS users schedule a tweet to be released on a specific date and time.
- The users can look at all their scheduled tweets in the scheduling window on the platform.
- Scheduling seems to be currently available only to some users on Twitter for desktop and will be available for all soon, reports the Next Web.
- The scheduling feature would especially be useful for social media managers and media outlets to handle their tweets better.
- Twitter last year experimented with the scheduling feature.

- The micro-blogging feature is also experimenting with giving users a second opportunity to self-edit their tweets and replies if they contain harmful, abusive and hate content, before they post it on the platform and face consequences for violating its policies.
- It is still not an Edit button for users but a self-edit tool to tackle rampant harassment on its platform, said Twitter.
- Twitter describes it as a limited experiment, and is currently only available for the iOS users.
- The prompt will come as a pop-up on tweets which carry harmful content and Twitter AI/ML tools will try to catch such hate words first-hand.
- Twitter users have been demanding an Edit button so that they can improve tweets that have been posted
