How to View Scheduled Posts on TikTok

You’ve edited the perfect video, picked a trending sound, and scheduled your TikTok to go live during peak hours - but now you need to find it again. Whether you spotted a last-minute typo in the caption or a massive news story just broke that makes your video feel out of touch, knowing how to access your scheduled posts is essential. This guide will walk you through exactly where to find, view, and manage your scheduled TikTok videos, covering the native desktop method and clarifying the limitations of the mobile app.

Why You'll Need to Access Your Scheduled TikToks

Scheduling content is a fantastic way to maintain a consistent posting cadence, but creation is only half the battle. A true "set it and forget it" mentality can be risky in the fast-paced world of social media. Here are a few common reasons you’ll inevitably need to revisit a post before it goes live:

• Catching Last-Minute Errors: It happens to everyone. You schedule a post, walk away, and then realize you made a glaring typo or tagged the wrong account. Being able to quickly find the post allows you to fix mistakes before they go live to your entire audience.
• Adapting to Viral Trends (or Avoiding Them): The sound that was trending yesterday might be old news - or worse, associated with something problematic - by tomorrow. If your video is tied to a specific trend, you need the flexibility to check if it's still relevant and swap it out if needed.
• Responding to Current Events: A major global or industry event can change the entire mood online. A lighthearted, funny video scheduled for a day of serious news can come across as tone-deaf and negatively impact your brand. Accessing your schedule allows you to pause or shift content to be more appropriate for the moment.
• Filling Content Gaps: Reviewing your upcoming schedule helps you get a clearer picture of your content flow. You might notice you have three similar videos scheduled back-to-back or realize there's a big gap in your calendar you need to fill. Viewing your scheduled posts helps you maintain a balanced and strategic content calendar.

Finding Your Scheduled Posts: The Desktop Method

If you've used TikTok's native scheduler, you already know it's a feature exclusive to the web version of the platform. So, naturally, that's where you'll need to go to manage anything you've scheduled. This process works best for those with a TikTok Business Account, which is free to switch to and provides access to more creation and analytics tools.

Here’s your step-by-step guide to finding those scheduled videos:

Step 1: Go to tiktok.com on Your Desktop

Open your preferred web browser (like Chrome, Firefox, or Safari) and navigate to www.tiktok.com. Log in to the TikTok account where you scheduled the post. This process won’t work on a mobile browser, so make sure you’re on a laptop or desktop computer.

Step 2: Access Your Profile or Business Suite

Once you're logged in, there are two primary paths to your content. From the TikTok homepage, click on your profile picture in the top-right corner and select "View Profile". This will take you to your main profile page.

Alternatively, for Business Account users, you can access the powerful TikTok Business Suite. Click your profile picture and find the link for "Business Suite" in the dropdown menu. This is the central hub for content management, analytics, and more.

Step 3: Navigate to Your Content Tab

This is where TikTok hides your scheduled posts. On your profile page, look at the tabs right below your bio - where you usually see your grid of published videos. You should see a section or tab for your drafts and posts. Often, TikTok groups all unpublished content together here.

However, the most reliable method is through the Business Suite. Within the Business Suite, you’ll see a navigation menu on the left side of the screen. Click on "Content" under the "Creation" heading.

Step 4: View Your Scheduled Posts

Inside the "Content" section, you’ll find several tabs designed to organize your videos. You'll see "Uploaded Posts," "Branded content," and the one you're looking for: "Scheduled." Click on this tab.

Success! You should now see a list or grid of all the videos you've scheduled to go live. You’ll see the thumbnail of each video, its caption, and its scheduled date and time.

What You Can Do With Your Scheduled Posts

Once you’ve located your post, your management options are straightforward but a little limited:

• Reschedule it: You can easily change the date and time of any scheduled video. Just select the post and adjust its publication details. This is perfect for when you need to move content around due to changing trends or current events.
• Delete it: If you've decided against a video entirely or need to make significant edits, you can delete the scheduled post.

What if you need to edit the caption, sound, or the video itself? Unfortunately, TikTok's native scheduler doesn't allow for in-depth editing once a video has been scheduled. Your best option is to delete the scheduled post, make your edits to the original video file on your computer, and then re-upload and reschedule it from scratch. It's a bit of a workaround, but it’s the only way to ensure your changes are saved.

What About the Mobile App? Finding Scheduled Content on Your Phone

This is a source of major confusion for creators and marketers alike. You search all over the mobile app, but the "Scheduled" folder is nowhere to be found. Is it hidden somewhere?

The short answer is: You cannot view or manage desktop-scheduled posts within the TikTok mobile app.

This limitation stems from how TikTok separates its content management functionalities. Let’s clarify the crucial difference between a "Draft" and a "Scheduled Post":

• Drafts are device specific. When you create a video on your phone and hit "Save to Drafts," that video is saved directly to your phone's storage through the TikTok app. You can only access it on the device where you created it. It lives in the "Drafts" folder on your profile tab, visible only to you.
• Scheduled Posts live on TikTok's servers. When you upload a video via a desktop browser and schedule it, that file is sent to TikTok's servers to await publication. It is not saved to your mobile app, which is why there's no way to access it there.

This disconnect is a significant pain point for anyone who manages their content on the go. If you schedule a week's worth of content on your laptop, you can't review or change it from your phone. You have to go back to your desk to make any adjustments.

Streamlining Your Workflow: The Advantage of a Social Media Management Tool

The limitations of TikTok’s native scheduler - being desktop only, lacking mobile access, and having minimal editing features - often push serious creators and brands toward a more robust solution. Juggling native schedulers for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Shorts quickly becomes a logistical headache. Each platform has its own interface, its own rules, and its own blind spots.

This is where third-party social media management platforms come in. They are designed to solve these exact problems. Here are some of the key benefits:

• A Unified Visual Calendar: Instead of logging into three different platforms, you see everything in one place. Your scheduled TikToks appear right next to your Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts on a single, clean calendar. This "bird's-eye view" is invaluable for strategy.
• Accessibility from Anywhere: Most management tools are cloud-based and have mobile apps, allowing you to view and manage your content scheduler from your computer or your phone with ease. No more being tethered to your desk.
• Simplified Editing and Rescheduling: Rescheduling is often a simple drag-and-drop affair on a visual calendar. Modifying captions or making other tweaks is far more user-friendly than the native delete-and-re-upload flow.
• Rock-Solid Reliability: Posts not publishing is a common complaint with native schedulers. Dedicated platforms are built with reliability as a top priority, giving you peace of mind that what you schedule will actually go live, every time.

Final Thoughts

Finding your scheduled posts on TikTok is straightforward once you know where to look: the "Content" section of the Business Suite on a desktop browser. Grasping that this feature is completely separate from the mobile app's "Drafts" folder clears up one of the biggest points of confusion. While TikTok’s native scheduler is a good starting point, its limitations often become apparent as your content strategy grows more sophisticated.

We've personally felt the friction of jumping between different native apps and schedulers to craft a cohesive content plan. That’s why we designed Postbase around a beautiful, all-in-one visual calendar. You can see your scheduled TikToks, a forthcoming Reel, and next week’s YouTube Short all in a single view. The ability to drag and drop content to reschedule it in seconds provides the agility you need to adapt to trends, without ever getting lost in different browser tabs or apps.
