📣 WhatsApp Schedule Message: No Need to Stay Awake Just to Wish — Feature Coming Soon!

G GOWTHAM
WhatsApp is reportedly working on one of its most requested features ever — scheduled messages. Once released, you’ll be able to type a message now and select a date and time for whatsapp to send it automatically, so you don’t have to wake up late at night to send wishes or reminders.

🕒 What Exactly Is Scheduled Messaging?

Instead of manually opening whatsapp at the right time, you will soon be able to:

  • ✉️ Compose your message in advance
  • ⏱️ Select a delivery date and time
  • 📤 whatsapp will send it automatically when the clock strikes — even if your phone is idle (once the feature is live)
This means birthday wishes, anniversary messages, good‑morning notes, work reminders, etc. will go out exactly when you want them to — without you having to be awake.

📱 How It Will Work (Based on Beta Previews)

Although the feature hasn’t rolled out publicly yet, the early beta testing reveals how it may function:

🧠 Simple Scheduling Within Chat

  • After typing your message, whatsapp could show an option like “Schedule message”.
  • You’ll pick a date and time for delivery.
  • The message stays in a scheduled queue until it’s automatically delivered.
📊 Manage Your Scheduled Messages

  • WhatsApp might add a “Scheduled Messages” section inside chat info — letting you see all your pending messages.
  • You could edit or cancel any scheduled message before it’s sent.
💬 Works in All Chats

  • The feature is expected to support individual chats and group chats, so you could plan a group announcement or family greeting in advance.
📅 Availability & Rollout

📍 Current status:

  • The message scheduler is still under development — spotted in internal code and iOS beta references.
  • It’s not yet available in public releases. Testing is ongoing before wider rollout.
📍 Expected timing:

  • WhatsApp has not announced an official release date yet.
  • Once testing is complete, it may first appear in beta testing builds before reaching all users.
🎯 Why This Matters

This scheduling feature will be a game‑changer for many users because:

✅ You no longer need to wake at odd hours to send greetings.
✅ Helps with event reminders, work communications, study plans and more.
✅ Replaces the need for unreliable third‑party tools or manual reminders.

📌 Tip in the Meantime

While the official scheduling feature is rolling out, some people already use third‑party apps and workarounds (like automation tools or reminders tied to WhatsApp), but these are not native and may be less secure.

✅ Summary: whatsapp is finally building a scheduled messages feature that will let you prepare messages ahead of time and have them sent automatically — meaning you won’t have to stay awake at night just to wish someone on time! The feature is in development and expected to roll out to users in future updates once testing is complete.
