awaited scheduled messages on iPhone
9to5Mac • • general
Key Points:
- WhatsApp is introducing a long-awaited message scheduling feature, now available to select iPhone beta testers shortly after its debut on Android beta.
- Users can schedule messages by holding the send button, selecting a delivery date and time, with options ranging from 10 minutes to two weeks in advance.
- Scheduled messages appear only to the sender in the chat until delivery and are visible in a dedicated section within chat or group info screens.
- In group chats, scheduled messages are delivered only to members present at the time of scheduling, excluding new members who join later.
- The feature supports scheduling text, photos, videos, and links, but currently does not allow scheduling multiple media items simultaneously; broader public availability is expected after beta testing.
