Now you can schedule WhatsApp messages on Android

WhatsApp, the most widely used instant messaging app in the world. Almost everyone uses it on a daily basis to communicate. WhatsApp lets users send messages, photos and videos instantly.

Sometimes we want to send a message at a specific scheduled time such as birthday wishes, New Year wishes, greetings, etc. WhatsApp does not have a feature to schedule any message within the app. There are several third-party apps available on Google Play Store that allow users to schedule any message at the given time and date.

Apps like WhatsApp Scheduler, Do It Later, SKEDit, etc enable users to schedule not only text messages but also photos and videos. These apps are simple to use and offer a handful of features on their basic version or free version. However, for advanced features like sending photos and videos, users might have to buy the premium version of the app. The best part here is these apps also work on the non-rooted Android smartphones.
