Twitter lets some lucky users schedule tweets on desktop

Twitter is testing a new tool for select users. Unfortunately, it's not an edit button.

On Wednesday, Twitter took to its own platform to announce a new scheduling feature on desktop.

In the GIF below, the new tool looks pretty straight forward. Craft your tweet, tap on the icon with the three dots, and select Schedule Tweet. Then, choose the date and time you want the tweet to go live, tap Continue followed by Schedule, and you're all set.

The feature was originally exclusive to TweetDeck—Twitter's dashboard app that displays tweets, hashtags, trends, and more, in columns. That way, you can see more tweets at once. With the ability to link multiple accounts, it's mostly used by content creators and social media managers.

But aside from the GIF, Twitter remains vague with the details. It's unclear whether you can schedule multiple tweets, and if/when the feature is coming to the mobile app.

While the company promotes it as a handy "time-saving" feature, some users on Twitter questioned the future of TweetDeck.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

But loyal TweetDeck users can rest easy. A spokesperson for Twitter confirmed to Mashable the company has no plans to shut down the platform.

As for who exactly gets to test out the new feature, Twitter says it's only experimenting with a small set of users on desktop, for now.
