Device selection for mobile notifications
When scheduling a post via Mobile Notification for Instagram and Facebook (Groups), you can now optionally select specific devices to receive the notification. This is especially useful if you want to:
- Control who gets notified
- Avoid confusion among team members
- Be informed if a device is no longer active
How it works
1
Compose a post. Select "Mobile Notification" when scheduling an Instagram or Facebook (Group) post.
2
A dropdown labeled "Select available device" will appear.
- You can select one or more devices.
- You can also leave the dropdown empty to notify all active devices.
3
When the post time arrives:
- If specific devices are selected, only those will be notified.
- If nothing was selected → all active devices will be notified by default.
💡 Note:
Due to API limitations, posting to Facebook groups uses the mobile app push notification method and does not add location information.

FAQs
Q1: What happens if I select an expired device?

Q2: What if I don’t select any device at all?
A: That’s completely fine! All active devices in the workspace will receive the push notification.
Q3: Why don’t I see the “Select device” dropdown for Facebook pages?
A: This feature is only available for Instagram and Facebook Group posts that use Mobile Notification.
