How to Find Scheduled Posts on Facebook Mobile

You’ve scheduled a Facebook post from your phone, and now it’s seemingly vanished into thin air. Don't worry, you’re not alone, and the post is not gone forever. This guide will show you exactly how to find, edit, and manage your scheduled posts on the Facebook mobile app, whether you're managing a Business Page or a Group.

Why Is It So Hard to Find Scheduled Posts on Mobile?

Let’s be honest: finding Baskin Robbins’ 32nd flavor would be easier than navigating some of Facebook’s backend mobile features. The main reason for this confusion is that Facebook has split its business and creator tools away from the main consumer app. While you might schedule a post while looking at your Business Page in the regular Facebook app, managing it requires an auxiliary app: the Meta Business Suite.

Facebook expects anyone managing a professional presence - whether a brand, a small business, or a creator - to use this dedicated tool. While it can be frustrating to need a separate app for a simple task, once you know where to look, the process becomes much more straightforward. Think of the Business Suite as the command center for your Page content.

How to Find Scheduled Posts for a Facebook Page (The Official Way)

For any content scheduled to your Facebook Business Page, the Meta Business Suite mobile app is your destination. This app centralizes your content, insights, and inbox for both Facebook and Instagram. Here’s how to find what you’re looking for, step by step.

Step 1: Download and Log In to Meta Business Suite

If you don’t have it already, your first step is to download the Meta Business Suite app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. It’s a free app published by Meta.

Once downloaded, open the app and log in using your Facebook credentials. If you manage multiple Pages, make sure you’ve selected the correct one from the dropdown menu at the top of the home screen. A common mistake is looking for posts in the wrong account!

Step 2: Navigate to "Content" or "Planner"

At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see a navigation bar with several icons. You have two main ways to see your scheduled posts:

• The Planner: Tap the Planner icon (it looks like a calendar). This gives you a visual calendar view of everything you’ve published and scheduled across Facebook and Instagram. It's fantastic for seeing your content strategy at a glance.
• The Content Tool: Tap the Content icon (it looks like a stack of papers or a document symbol). This gives you a chronological feed of all your posts, Reels, and Stories.

Both routes will get you where you need to go, but the Planner is often better for seeing future posts, while the Content tab is better for browsing a list.

Step 3: Filter to See Your Scheduled Content

This is the most important part. By default, these views show your recently published content. You need to adjust the filter to see what’s waiting in the wings.

In the Planner View:

Simply scroll forward through the calendar days or weeks to find the blue dot indicating a scheduled post. Tap on the date, and you’ll see the scheduled content for that day listed below.

In the Content View:

Look at the top of the "Posts & Reels" feed. You should see a dropdown filter that likely says "Published". Tap on it. A menu will appear with several options, including:

• Published
• Scheduled
• Drafts

Select "Scheduled" from the list. The feed will instantly refresh to show you only the content you’ve scheduled to go out in the future, sorted by date with the soonest first.

Step 4: Edit, Reschedule, or Delete Your Post

Now that you've located your post, you can manage it. Tap the three dots (...) next to the scheduled post you want to adjust. This will open a menu with several actions you can take:

• Edit Post: Need to fix a typo or swap out an image? This option takes you back to the content editor where you can make changes and save them.
• Reschedule Post: If you decide a different time or day would be better, select this. You’ll be able to choose a new date and time from the calendar and save your change.
• Publish Now: Changed your mind and want the post to go live immediately? This option bypasses the schedule and pushes it to your Page right away.
• Delete Post: If the post is no longer relevant, you can delete it permanently from here. Be careful, as this action cannot be undone.

How to Find Scheduled Posts for a Facebook Group

Managing scheduled posts for a Facebook Group works completely differently and, thankfully, doesn't require the Meta Business Suite app. You can do this directly within the main Facebook mobile app.

Group-scheduled posts are a fantastic tool for admins and moderators who want to plan announcements, discussion prompts, or daily check-ins ahead of time. Here’s where to find them:

1. Open the Facebook app and navigate to the Group you manage.
2. On the Group’s main page, look for the badge icon labeled "Admin tools" (on some devices, it may be under a "Manage" button near the top).
3. Tap on "Admin tools" to open your moderation dashboard.
4. Scroll down through the tools until you find the section for "Content." Under this section, you should see an option labeled "Scheduled posts."
5. Tap on "Scheduled posts" to see a list of all posts that are pending publication, along with who scheduled them and when they are set to go live.

From this screen, you can tap the three dots next to any scheduled post to edit it, reschedule it, post it now, or delete it, just like you would for a Page.

Can You Schedule or Find Scheduled Posts on a Personal Profile?

This is a source of frequent confusion. The short answer is no. The ability to schedule posts is a feature designed for Business Pages and Groups, not personal profiles. Facebook has intentionally firewalled these professional tools away from personal accounts to encourage brands and creators to use the intended platform (Pages).

While some third-party workaround tools might have claimed to offer this in the past, natively scheduling a post on your personal Facebook profile isn’t supported. If you want to plan your content in advance, your best bet is to use a Facebook Page, which offers a full suite of content planning and analytics tools.

Common Troubleshooting Tips

If you've followed the steps above and still can’t find your post, here are a few other things to check:

• Are You Looking at the Right Page? If you manage multiple pages, double-check that you’ve selected the correct one in the Meta Business Suite.
• Do You Have the Right Permissions? You need to be an Admin or Editor on the Page to manage scheduled content. If you only have a Moderator, Analyst, or Advertiser role, you might not be able to see or edit these posts.
• Did it Already Publish or Fail? Check the "Published" tab in your Content feed to see if you accidentally scheduled it for an earlier time and it already went live. Also, check your drafts, a poor internet connection could have caused it to save as a draft instead of scheduling properly.

Final Thoughts

The bottom line is simple: for Facebook Pages, your world for scheduled content lives exclusively within the Meta Business Suite app. For Groups, you can handle everything directly through the Admin Tools in the standard Facebook app. Knowing which tool to use for which task saves you time and a lot of frustration.

Needing separate apps to handle content for Pages versus Groups is a perfect example of the fragmentation many social media managers face daily. This is precisely why we built Postbase. In our tool, all of your scheduled content for Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and more lives in one simple, unified visual calendar. You can plan, schedule, and see gaps in your strategy across all platforms without ever switching apps, making it much easier to stay organized and consistent everywhere.
