> How does Buffer operate then?

Buffer documents a number of workflows and limitations in their FAQs.

E.g. for a non-professional Instagram account, the user gets a notification to manually share a post via the Instagram app.

> you can prepare your post in Buffer, receive a notification on your mobile device when it’s time to post, then tap the notification and copy your post over to the social network to finish posting.

Wasn’t Buffer something else in the past? Did they pivot?
