Latest update to iOS app won’t allow scheduling of posts

  • A week ago the iOS app was updated and the ability to schedule posts is now eliminated. When will it be restored? I create and schedule posts throughout the day.

  • Hi @solsys,

    Thank you for writing.

    The post-scheduling option is located after you tap the “Publish” button. Here’s what to do:

    1. Create your post as usual.
    2. When you’re ready, tap “Publish.”
    3. A new screen will appear with options for scheduling (publish date), visibility, tags, and categories.
    4. From there, you can choose your desired publish time.

    We’ve moved the scheduling feature under the “Publish” button to make the post creation process smoother.

    I hope this helps!

    That helped, but why add extra steps?
    Another issue is that new posts created in the app default to no comments. I have allow comments selected in the desktop, and it has worked for years, but now anything new created with the app defaults to no comments.

    Hi @solsys,

    why add extra steps?

    We started to receive feedback from users about this and started to gather their feedback so we can see how to proceed. We’re doing this on Github if you want to follow:

    It appears to be a known issue and I added your case too here:
