WhatsApp Scheduled Messages Roll Out to Android Beta Users: How the Feature Works
WhatsApp is finally testing its most sought-after feature, Scheduled Messages. According to a new report, this feature is currently being rolled out to select users with Android beta version 2.26.40.7.
The 'Scheduled Messages' feature is reportedly being tested on some Android beta users by WhatsApp. This feature enables WhatsApp users to compose messages, send links, and send photos and videos at scheduled times without having to manually send the messages. It is said that the feature will work in both personal and group chats even if the device of the sender is offline at the time of sending the message. Users will also be able to preview or delete the messages prior to sending them.
WhatsApp will roll out this 'Scheduled Messages' feature on some users using WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.26.40.7, according to WABetaInfo. In order to schedule a message, the user can type the message in the chat and then press and hold the send button. The option to select a delivery time and date of the message will appear on WhatsApp if the feature is available.
It is also said that the messages which can be scheduled include text messages, links, photos, and videos. However, the user can schedule only one photo or video at a time. The image can be edited or caption added to the image via the drawing editor and then scheduled. Messages can be scheduled from 10 minutes to 2 weeks in advance.
