How to schedule WhatsApp messages | Business Insider India

WhatsApp currently does not allow users to schedule messages on the app.
You can use third-party apps to schedule WhatsApp messages.
Scheduling messages allows you to remember to send birthday and anniversary messages to your friends and family.

WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps and offers a lot of features for users. However, it is still missing some important aspects — one such example being message scheduling.

While WhatsApp message scheduling is not an official feature, there are third-party apps that allow you to enable this feature. This allows you to schedule messages and send them after some time if you wish to avoid someone at a particular time or do not wish to send the message immediately.

If you do not remember birthdays and anniversaries, spending a few minutes to schedule messages on WhatsApp won’t get you in trouble for forgetting someone’s special day.
