WhatsApp has almost replaced conventional methods of messaging and texting. Apart from myriads of features, WhatsApp is secure, reliable and economical. Since the popularity of video calls have emerged, WhatsApp started to provide you with free voice and video calls.
Although, there’s been a demand for a feature that allows to schedule messages and send them automatically to recipients. Unfortunately, WhatsApp officially hasn’t introduced any such feature, but you can experience this nerve-relieving feature with the help of third-party applications.
Though there are a handful of scheduling apps available on Play Store, out of which we’re going to use SQEDit to calendar your messages. Below are the steps following that you can use the app and schedule WhatsApp messages on Android:
