You’ll then be able to schedule the tweet for a specific date and time, ensuring that it will go up exactly when you want it to.As of now, there’s no word on when scheduled tweets might come to Twitter on Android or iOS. It is currently also unclear how many people are part of Twitter’s experiment. Also, since this is just an 'experiment' we can't know when and if the feature will start rolling out to all users.
