anGadgets EditorsTwitter has expanded its functions with the programming of tweets, an option that until now it was only available in unofficial applications. Activate now on the web, we show you how to program your communications on the social network by installing the progressive web application.
All of us who actively use Twitter demanded a possibility that the social network had not yet integrated. Tweeting is still missing, yes, but at least we can now schedule messages to be posted at the desired time and automatically. The problem is that the programming function has not yet reached the mobile applications, but there is a solution: the progressive web application of Twitter.
Program tweets with the PWA of Twitter
Progressive web applications or PWA (‘Progressive Web App’) are a type of software that are halfway between ‘mainstream’ application, those that are installed from the relevant store, and website. In the operating system behave like an application no matter how much they are anchored to the web browser. And they save a considerable amount of weight as they are lighter than their ‘normal’ application equivalent; with the incentive, as is the case with Twitter, that sometimes you can try options that are not found in mobile apps.
As we said, Twitter has activated the programming of tweets on the web, both in its desktop and mobile versions. To use the new official function, just open the browser and type in the address, something that has no mystery. But wouldn’t it be better if you could program tweets from your official application? Said and done, just follow these steps:
- Open your mobile web browser. It’s best to use Chrome on Android or a browser that is based on Chromium (Brave, Samsung or the latest Microsoft Edge, for example). In iOS, you can do this with Safari.
- Type in the Twitter mobile address: mobile.twitter.com.
- Once the Twitter page has loaded, open the browser menu and click on ‘.Add page to home‘. The specific message varies depending on the computer.
Installation of Twitter as a PWA in iOS (iPad) - If you’re using Safari on your iPhone or iPad, click the share icon, then click ‘Add to Home Page.
- The browser will perform the installation process of the progressive web application so you have direct access to Twitter as if it were just another application.
- Click on the new Twitter app, sign in with your account and write a new tweet: you’ll see the schedule icon appear to the right of the Emojis icon.
You can choose any future date from the calendar with its respective hour and minute. In addition, you have access on that screen to the tweets you have previously programmedThe tweet: this way you will know everything that is pending and you will also be able to edit the programming by entering the respective tweet.
