WhatsApp tests scheduled messages

WhatsApp is currently testing a new feature for Android users that lets them schedule messages to be sent automatically at a specific time. This is part of the company’s ongoing efforts to enhance user convenience and functionality on its messaging platform.

Scheduled messages work offline

The scheduled message feature allows users to compose text, links, photos, and videos in advance. These messages can be sent automatically even if the user’s smartphone is not connected to the internet at the time of sending.

Feature is long-awaited by users

The introduction of this feature has been anticipated by many WhatsApp users, who have long requested the ability to schedule messages for future delivery. It addresses a common need for planning communications in advance.

No word on iOS availability

As of now, the feature is being tested exclusively on Android devices. There has been no official announcement regarding whether or when it will be available for iOS users.
