Setting up your timezones and posting schedules on the Buffer mobile app
We sometimes want to be very specific about the date and time we schedule a post to publish, but we shouldn’t have to think about it every time. Setting up a posting schedule for each of your social channels will free you from making the same decision over and over.

Setting up your timezone and posting schedule
When you add a time to a channel’s posting schedule, it becomes a time slot in the channel’s queue. Then, when you use the “Add to Queue” option to schedule a post, the post will automatically be placed into the next available time slot and will publish at that corresponding date and time.
📝 Note: Each social channel has its own timezone settings. Follow these steps for each of your channels to ensure your posts publish when intended.
- Tap the menu icon at the top left of your screen.
- Tap on the channel you'd like to adjust the timezone or posting schedule for.
- Tap the Settings icon at the bottom right of your screen.
- Tap Posting Schedule to change your timezone or to add and remove posting times.
A few more details:
- To edit or delete an existing posting time, select it and tap Remove or change the time and tap Use this time.
- Hide posting times in your queue for any day by clicking into that day and toggling off the setting, “Enable [day name] Posting Times.”
