Twitter now lets you schedule tweets right from their web app, the company announced.

Here's what you have to do to schedule a tweet:

When you compose a tweet click the little calendar icon on the bottom and specify when you want your tweet to be posted.

The social media giant had been testing this new feature since November. If you didn’t have access to that experiment, you needed Tweetdeck or another third-party service to schedule tweets.

“Right now, Tweet drafts saved on desktop or mobile web will be accessible via desktop or mobile web on,” says Twitter.

 

However, drafts you write on the web app will only sync to other instances of the web app, which means that the drafts written in Twitter’s mobile app won’t sync to the web.
