    • Updated

    Schedule videos to TikTok to be published automatically, or manually through push notifications!

    Important:

    • TikTok scheduling is available for users on all Later plans, including Free
    • You can see, edit, or delete scheduled TikTok posts through Later on the web and Later's iOS and Android apps
    • Auto Publish is available for both TikTok Personal and Business Accounts
    • You can only schedule 1 video to a TikTok post at this time
    • Due to API limitations, scheduling photos to TikTok (Photo Mode) is not supported through Later this time
      • In addition, Photo Mode TikToks will not appear on Linkin.bio pages
    • TikTok videos can be trimmed and cropped when scheduling through Later on the web
    • Due to API limitations, auto published TikTok posts can be a maximum of 60 seconds at this time
    • Due to API limitations, auto published TikTok posts can only use original audio at this time
      • If you want to use trending audio or music, the best method is to schedule your TikTok post for notification publishing and add the audio during the posting process in TikTok
    • Due to API limitations, it is not currently possible to select a custom cover photo/thumbnail for auto published TikTok posts
    • Due to API limitations, the character limit for TikTok captions scheduled through Later is 150 characters
