FAQs

If I add an Instagram and TikTok profile to a post with a Mobile Publisher, can one go to the Mobile Publisher and the other be directly published?

No, when a Mobile Publisher is added to the post, all eligible profiles will go through the mobile workflow. If you want the same post published directly, you can schedule it for one network and use the Save + Duplicate action to schedule it for the other network.

Can I create/edit TikTok posts in Compose within the mobile applications?

Not at this time.

I cannot see my scheduled, queued, or draft TikTok posts in the Publishing section of the mobile applications. Is this expected?

At this time, mobile users will only see TikTok posts when it’s time to publish them as reminders. 

I want to include notes specific to adding filters or sounds/music to my posts. Am I able to send that information to the Mobile Publisher?

Yes, there is an open-format text area where you can write text captions or notes for the Mobile Publisher.
