Character Limits And Media
What Are The Character Limits For Each Social Network?
Each network has its own limits.
See Media Specifications For Different Social Networks for the character limits, the networks that support image posts and the maximum number of images for each.
What Is The Maximum Number Of Images I Can Add To A Post?
It depends on the network. Each profile tab in Compose shows its limit under the upload box, for example Facebook "Max 10 images, or 1 GIF, or 1 video". The full list is in the media specifications article above.
Why Am I Getting An Error After Uploading My Image?
Social networks have strict requirements for posts published through third-party apps. If you get an error, fix the image with the built-in image editor in the desktop version of Statusbrew.
Bulk Scheduling
Which Social Networks Can I Bulk Upload Posts To?
You can bulk schedule posts to all your connected social profiles, one profile at a time.
Can I Use Another File Format To Bulk Upload My Posts?
No. Bulk upload only supports CSV files.
Learn more in Bulk Scheduling (CSV Uploads).
Can I Add GIF Or Video Links Instead Of Images In My CSV?
Yes, as long as the links are publicly accessible. To check, open the link in a private browsing window.
Scheduling Times And Your Trial
How Far In Advance Can I Schedule Posts?
You can schedule posts up to 12 months in advance.
Why Does The Button Only Say Post Now?
A new post is set to publish Immediately by default, so the main button reads Post now. Click the schedule button in the bottom bar, choose Custom time, add a date and time and click Apply. The main button then changes to Schedule.
Can I Schedule The Same Post To Publish More Than Once?
Yes. In the schedule dialog, choose Custom time and click Add time for each extra time. Turn on Different times per profile to give each profile its own times.
Learn more in How To Select Time To Post.
If My Scheduled Posts Are Due After My Trial Ends, Will They Still Publish?
No. When your trial ends without an active subscription, all scheduled posts are paused and don't publish.
To make sure your content goes out as planned, upgrade to a paid plan before your trial expires. You can do this from Billing at any time, including on the last day of your trial.
Captions, Emoji And Mentions
Can I Add Emoji To My Posts?
Yes. Type emoji inline in the caption, or click the emoji icon and pick one from the emoji picker.
Can I Add Mentions In The Global Tab?
No. Mentions don't work in the Global tab. Click the profile tab above the caption box for the profile you're posting to and add the mention there.
Adding a mention in a profile tab changes that profile from Inheriting from Global to Customised, so it keeps its own caption.
Which Profile Types Can I Mention?
From Compose, you can mention Facebook Business Pages, X profiles, Instagram Business profiles, TikTok profiles, LinkedIn Company Pages, and LinkedIn personal profiles that follow your Page.
Can I Mention Facebook And LinkedIn Personal Profiles?
You can't mention Facebook personal profiles because of network restrictions. You can mention LinkedIn personal profiles only if they follow your Page.
Multiple Profiles And Post Groups
What Happens When I Schedule A Post To Several Profiles?
When you select two or more profiles for a new post, Compose saves it as a Post Group by default. A Group holds one post per profile, and you edit, approve and schedule them together. To change all of them later, open the Group and click Edit group.
Want each profile's post handled on its own? Pick Separate posts in the toggle at the top of Compose before you save. Profiles that publish via mobile reminders are always saved as separate posts.
Learn more in Post Groups in Statusbrew.
What Do Inheriting From Global And Customised Mean In Compose?
Above the caption box you see a Global tab plus one tab per selected profile. Anything you write in Global goes to every profile tab that shows Inheriting from Global.
Change the caption, media or first comment in a profile tab and that profile becomes Customised, with its own content. Other profiles aren't affected. A Customised profile doesn't pick up later changes you make in Global. Click Reset to Global in that tab to make it inherit Global again.
Why Are My Other TikTok, X And YouTube Profiles Grayed Out In Compose?
Once you select a TikTok, X or YouTube profile in the profile picker, the other profiles on that network are grayed out until you deselect it. Scheduling to several profiles on the same network goes against these networks' service and privacy policies, so you can post to one profile per network at a time.
