How to schedule WhatsApp messages on Android and iPhone

WhatsApp is full of great features, but there is one thing that WhatsApp disappoints us with, that is the feature of scheduling messages. Yes, the way to schedule messages has not been introduced on WhatsApp yet, due to which we have to face trouble many times. Take an example, to send a birthday message to your friend first, you have to stay awake till 12 o’clock in the night, if there was a feature of scheduling messages on WhatsApp, then you would not have to face the trouble of staying awake till 12 o’clock in the night. Even though this feature has not been added to WhatsApp yet, but today we will definitely tell you the way to overcome this problem. There are many other ways to schedule WhatsApp messages on Android and iPhone smartphones. So let’s know what is the way with the help of which WhatsApp messages can be sent without opening WhatsApp.

How to schedule WhatsApp message on Android

As we mentioned earlier, WhatsApp has not introduced any official feature to schedule messages. However, if you use an Android device, you can schedule messages on WhatsApp with the help of many third-party apps. Yes, there are many third-party apps that can help you in this task, but there is one app called SKEDit that does its job better. So let’s know how to schedule WhatsApp messages with the help of this app-

1. First of all Google Play Store On reaching SKEDit Download and install it.

2. After opening it, you will first have to sign in to it.

3. After signing in, tap on WhatsApp from the main menu.

4. After this the app will ask you for some permission, grant it. Now tap on Enable Accessibility then go to SKEDit and turn on the toggle. Finally you have to tap on Allow.

5. After this, go back to the app, where you will be able to schedule your message. First, select the person to whom you want to send the message and then write your message. Now set the date and time. Here you will also get an option whether you want to repeat this message or not.

6. Now you will see the final toggle below. Here you will see the option of Ask Me Before Sending, if you schedule it by turning it on, then before sending the message it will send you a notification, only after clicking on it the message will be sent. Whereas, if you turn off this option, then it will send the message without sending any notification. If you want to wish a friend on his birthday, then you can also keep it off.

Like Android, there is no third party app available to schedule WhatsApp messages in iOS. However, here we will tell you a different way to schedule WhatsApp messages on iPhone, this way is Siri Shortcuts. This is an Apple app, which automatically sends WhatsApp messages at a specific time. How to send WhatsApp messages on iPhone-
