Here you will get the solutions and methods to schedule a text message on your iPhone, Android, or desktop computer. Although texting is great for instant gratification, there are better ways to communicate. It is a good idea to plan your messages ahead of time.
If you have an iPhone, you can’t schedule text messages directly from Messages. To schedule texts, you will need to use a third-party application. You can set up recurring messages depending on your iPhone’s Shortcuts app.
Can You Schedule An iMessage Using The Messages App?
No, you do not have any inbuilt option to schedule text messages on iPhone. If you want to schedule iMessage then you need to use any shortcuts or another third-party app.
Get A Text Scheduling App
Third-party apps can also schedule text messages on iPhones. Scheduled is one of that apps. It allows users to schedule messages and emails. It supports various platforms, including iMessage and WhatsApp, as well as Messenger, Telegram, Telegram, Slack, and Telegram. The app will need access to the user’s contact list and set a time and date for the Message to go out. There are both paid and free subscription options. The free plan will remind users to send a text reminder at a pre-determined time. Users will have to hit send to send the Message to a contact manually. Premium plans, which cost $4.99 per month, automatically send texts at the set time.

How Can We Recall A Text Message On iPhone?
It’s impossible to retrieve a text message you sent after it has been sent. If you are quick enough, you can cancel the Message before it is delivered. Turn on Airport Mode in the Control Center. This mode turns off all signals entering and leaving your device, including data and Wi-Fi. If you see a message saying “Not Delivered,” you will know that you have succeeded.
