WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps with over two billion users. While the messaging app offers a lot of features to its users that are aimed at making chats on its platform simpler and swifter.
For instance, users can make their messages disappear after a specified period of time. Similarly, another feature called playback speed, enables users to listen to audio messages at a greater speed. However, one thing the messaging app still missing is to schedule WhatsApp messages.
Further, at this moment we are not getting any reports of this service in development. However, fortunately, there is a way around it. You have to take the help of third-party apps and this is not always a good thing and is not normally recommended.
A number of third-party apps give WhatsApp users the ability to schedule their messages. Apps like WhatsApp Scheduler, Do It Later, SKEDit, etc allows 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 non-rooted Android smartphones.
