WhatsApp Reportedly Testing Scheduled Messages Feature

WhatsApp may soon allow users to schedule messages, a feature long requested by its user base. According to a report by WABetaInfo, an early test version of WhatsApp for iPhones shows signs of a new “Scheduled Messages” option. The feature is not yet active, even for beta users.

The concept is simple: users can compose a message, select a date and time, and have it sent automatically. Scheduled messages will reportedly be visible in a single place within the chat, making them easy to manage. The feature is expected to work in both personal and group chats. Meta has not confirmed when it will roll out to all users.
