WhatsApp Tests Message Scheduling Feature on iOS and Android Beta Versions
WhatsApp is testing a message scheduling feature on both iOS and Android platforms, currently available to select beta users. This tool allows users to compose texts, photos, videos, and links and set a specific date and time for automatic delivery. The feature integrates into individual chats, letting users confirm scheduled messages and edit or delete them before sending. While useful for reminders and planned communications, the rollout is gradual, and no official release date has been announced.
