WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps. It has innumerable features available to its users to make the experience more enjoyable and easy. However, there is still one feature that most users feel is missing – scheduled messages.
While message scheduling is not an official feature, there are third-party apps that may allow you to enable the feature. Scheduling messages can help you send messages at a particular time of your choosing. This is especially handy when you don’t want to send the message right away.
Think birthdays and anniversaries, where you can schedule a message in advance and be sure you don’t forget their special day. Here’s how you can schedule messages on WhatsApp using third-party apps:
