WhatsApp is testing a highly requested feature allowing users to schedule messages to send automatically at a chosen date and time, without needing to open the app.
The feature appears in the iOS beta version, indicating active development before general release. It will support individual and group chats, letting users plan reminders, greetings, or important messages. A dedicated section in chat info will allow reviewing, editing, or deleting scheduled messages before sending, without alerting recipients.
The move responds to repeated user requests and reduces reliance on third-party apps or iOS shortcuts. It aims to improve flexibility, save time, and enhance WhatsApp’s competitiveness against other messaging services with similar capabilities.
No official release date has been announced, but gradual rollout is expected for iOS first, followed by Android versions.
