Overview
- The feature was identified in WhatsApp’s iOS beta version 26.7.10.72 on TestFlight and remains under development, with no public availability yet.
- Users will be able to compose a message, pick a specific date and time, and have it sent automatically at the scheduled moment.
- Scheduled messages will queue in a dedicated section within the chat info screen where users can view, manage, or delete them.
- Deleting a scheduled message before its send time will not notify the recipient, as removal occurs prior to delivery.
- The tool is expected to work in individual and group chats, with channel support unconfirmed, and it aims to offer a free, built‑in alternative to paid Business Broadcast scheduling and iOS Shortcuts workarounds.
