Scheduling posts on the Buffer mobile app

Scheduling your social media posts couldn't be easier! Using the tailored posts composer, you can customize your post for each social network you're sharing to.

:::info Looking for the web version of "Scheduling Posts"? :::

Scheduling Posts

1. Tap Publish at the bottom of the app.
2. Tap the + button in the button right corner of your screen. This will open up the composer.
3. The social channel you were viewing before opening the composer will already be selected. If you'd like to share to multiple channels, tap the + icon at the top of the composer and then tap any channels you'd like to include.

4. To finish your post, compose the caption, add your media attachments, add alt text to certain images, or add a tag.

5. Tap ➡️ (Next) in the top-right corner, then select a scheduling option. Unless you selected Now, your post should now appear in your queue and calendar.
6. Have a draft you'd like to turn into a post? Tap the Drafts option at the bottom of your screen, then select Add to Queue.

AI-generated content disclosure on iOS

At this time, the AI-generated content disclosure is only available on iOS. We hope to support this on the Android app soon!

If you used AI to help create your post, tap the AI-Generated toggle below the caption field to flag it, just like on web. See Flagging posts as AI-generated in Buffer for which networks support this and how the label appears once your post is published.

Threaded posts

Threaded posts are available in Buffer for iOS v15.7 onward and in Beta on the Buffer Android app.

Want to create threaded posts on the go? With Buffer's mobile app, you can build a thread right from your phone instead of switching to web.

1. In the composer, tap + Start a thread to add another item to your thread.
2. Keep tapping the same button to add more items.
3. Schedule or publish your thread as normal.

:::info Note: Threading on the mobile app works the same way it does on web (up to 25 items per thread) for X/Twitter, Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky. See each channel's guide for network-specific details: Using X/Twitter with Buffer, Using Threads with Buffer, Using Mastodon with Buffer, and Using Bluesky with Buffer. :::

Reordering media

:::info Reordering media is available in Buffer for iOS v15.7 onward and in Beta on the Buffer Android app. :::

Once you've added photos or videos to a post, press and hold an item in the media strip, then drag it into the position you want.
