Use the CoSchedule mobile app

The CoSchedule mobile app lets you check your tasks, see your calendar one day at a time, update projects and create social messages from your phone. Available on Starter, Professional and Suite.

Download the app and log in

1. Download the CoSchedule mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
2. Log in with the email address and password for your CoSchedule account.

The bar at the bottom of the app has three tabs, shown as icons without labels: a checkmark for My Upcoming, a calendar for the calendar, and an Instagram icon on the right for Ready to Post.

Manage your tasks in My Upcoming

My Upcoming is the app's home screen. It lists your tasks. To open it, tap the checkmark at the bottom of the screen.

Mark a task complete

Tap the check box next to the task.

Create a personal task

1. Tap the orange plus sign.
2. Enter a name or description for the task.
3. Add a due date if you want one.
4. Tap Save Task.

Tasks you create in My Upcoming are assigned to you.

Edit or delete a task

2. Change the name, description or due date.
3. Tap Save Task.

To delete a task, open it and tap the trash can icon in the upper right.

To open the calendar, tap the calendar icon at the bottom of the screen. The app shows one day at a time. Tap the date at the top to pick a day, or use the arrows to move one day forward or back.

Create a social message

1. On the calendar, tap the orange plus sign.
2. Choose Social Message.
3. Write your message.

4. Assign it to a team member.
5. Add a due date if you want one.
6. Tap Save Task in the bar at the bottom of the New Task screen.

Tasks you create on the calendar are standalone tasks. To add a task to a project, open the project instead.

Work on a project

Tap Social to see the project's social messages. Tap a message to edit or reschedule it, or tap the orange plus sign to create one in the project.

Tasks in a project

Tap Tasks to see the project's tasks. Tap a task to edit it, or tap the orange plus sign to create one. You can assign project tasks to yourself or to team members.

You can view attachments in the app, but not edit them.

Publish Instagram posts from Ready to Post

Ready to Post lists the Instagram messages you scheduled for push notification publishing, so you can finish each one in the Instagram app. To open it, tap the Instagram icon on the right of the bar at the bottom of the screen. A dot on the icon means something new is waiting. Ready to Post shows only on plans with social publishing.

To turn on notifications and publish, see Publish to Instagram with mobile push notifications.

What you can't do in the app

Use CoSchedule in a web browser to:

• Approve social messages. If your role is Approver, the app shows nothing, so approve messages in a browser.
• Connect or reconnect social profiles.
• Change your plan, update billing or cancel your subscription.
• Search your calendar.
• Comment on tasks.
• Create social messages for YouTube Shorts, Google Business Profile, TikTok or Mastodon.

The app also needs an internet connection; it doesn't work offline.

Fix common problems

Push notifications don't arrive

1. Check that your phone allows notifications from the CoSchedule app. Apple explains how in Change notification settings on iPhone, and Google in Control notifications on Android.
2. In the app, open Ready to Post.
3. Tap the gear at the top of the Ready to Post screen to open Notification Settings.
4. Check that the box next to your Instagram profile is checked.
5. Log out of the app and log back in.
6. If notifications still don't arrive, delete the app, install it again and log in.

Photos or videos won't upload

Give the CoSchedule app access to all your photos, not only selected ones, in your phone's settings. Apple explains how in Control access to information in apps on iPhone, and Google in Change app permissions on your Android phone.
