How to schedule text messages on Android and iOS

you're out late when your mom calls and she asks you to text her when you get home but as they say old habits die hard, you forget what she'd asked you to do. You know what happens when moms lose their cool, right? Well, if you can relate to this or similar instances of being forgetful, then this little hack can definitely save you from a lot of trouble.

You don't always remember to text someone later when you think you will. Since not not all phones come with the scheduling feature, do try out these apps on your device to save you from all the aftermath:

1) Textra:
There are a lot of apps available on Google Play store which you can download to customise your phone. Textra is an app to change the look and feel of your native messaging app. Not just that, the app comes with some other cool features, like allowing you to schedule your text messages. Once you've composed your message just tap on the plus icon, which shows more options and just select the schedule text option. The message which you have scheduled on the app appears in green.


2) Schedule SMS:

If you're looking for something solely to schedule your messages, this is the app for you. The app is free on Google Play and the ads only show up once you've sent the message. To schedule a message all you have to do is, tap on the plus icon to compose a message and set the time date before you hit the send button. The only problem with the app is that the UI does feel a bit too old.


3) Pulse SMS:

Much like the other apps mentioned above, this app too comes with a host of features, one of them being the scheduling option. The UI of the app feels fresh, new and is easy to use. When you have to schedule a message, all you have to do is tap on the drop menu icon in any of your message conversations and then set the time and date before you hit the send button.


In-built feature:

Some phones like Samsung and LG have this feature available on their handsets. All you have to do is go to any conversation and click on the 'more' icon, which shows you more option so of sharing the message or scheduling it.

For iOS users, it's a similar process as they can download third party apps like:

1) Scheduled:

Launch the app and open a conversation, once you're done composing the message, set the time and date before you send it.

2) Delayd app:

Amongst all the other scheduling apps, one of the most downloaded apps has been Delayd. Apart from performing the same function, this app also lets you schedule the same text on a 'recurring' basis, so all you have to do is set the time and select 'daily', the text will be sent to the concerned person at the same time every day. What's even better is that, it also allows you to schedule emails, and Facebook status updates.
