Description: A Fantastic way to schedule your Facebook status update posts to personal profile timeline, groups and pages with great features.
Facebook officially allows you to schedule your status update posts into your Facebook business page only. You cannot schedule your posts from your personal timeline and groups you are the admin. There could be some reasons for Facebook, or you can say spamming that triggered to Facebook not allowing scheduled posts for profile.
