• Then, tap and hold on to the send button. There, you will see the ‘Schedule Message’ button; click on it to continue. 
  

  

• Then you need to pick a time and date when you want to send the message. 
  

  

• Once selected, tap on the send button, which will have a small clock indicating the scheduled message on your device. 

Note: If you find out that your device does not have the Google Messages feature, then you can simply visit the Google Playstore and download the app from there and then opt into the beta program from the product page.

Samsung Messages

Here, you first need to check if your smartphone running on the custom skin has this feature or not. For this, you just need to open any conversation on your device and click on the ‘+’ sign there. If you see an option of ‘schedule message’ there then it is working, then you can just schedule your message by picking your desired date and time and you are done. 

Note: In case your Samsung device isn’t updated to the latest One UI, then you can also find the scheduling message feature by clicking on the three dots present in the top right corner of your message app. 

MIUI Messages

The same steps go for Xiaomi, you just need to click on the ‘+’ sign in your conversation and you will get the ‘Timed’ option and you can pick a date and time to schedule the message on your device.

• SMS Organizer– This one is from Microsoft. Here too, all you have to do is click on the calendar icon that is present under the text field. There, you will have the feature to set the date and time of the message on which you want it to be scheduled. 

• AUTO MESSAGE– Apart from scheduling messages here, you can also automate them, automate the replies, and even calls.

If you are somehow unable to work with the text scheduler Android, you can simply try setting alarms or reminders for sending text messages. This might not be the actual solution to scheduling text messages on Android as it won’t send the message right away it will just send a reminder for that.

You can also type the message there beforehand, and with the reminder, you will already have the message that you can just copy and paste and send to the user. You can also use the ‘Notes’ App to write a draft of the message that you are going to send.
