How to Schedule WhatsApp Message on iPhone

You can send messages on WhatsApp to anyone anytime you want. But, if you want to send someone a message sometime later, you probably are thinking about scheduling it. Unfortunately, WhatsApp does not have a message scheduling option. If you have an iPhone, you can automate sending messages on WhatsApp for a certain time and forget about it.

Let’s find out how to schedule WhatsApp messages using your iPhone.
