Part 2. Schedule WhatsApp Messages On iPhone

Apple’s iOS system is famous for its walled garden approach. Users are pretty much restricted to make major changes in the way they can use the operating system. That includes the usage of stock apps for basic tasks. One cannot set default apps for specific tasks on the operating system. Though over the years, Apple has loosened its restrictions, it still is very strict on what it allows users to do out of the box. It is due to these restrictions that natively, it is not possible to schedule a WhatsApp message on iPhone.

There is a paid app in the Apple App Store that says it schedules messages but basically sets a reminder for you to send a message at a set time. There is no need spending money on this app as such a reminder can be set in Apple’s reminder app as well. It doesn’t serve the actual requirement of hands-free sending of messages at a particular date and time.

The only way to achieve this functionality on iOS is through jailbreak. If you have a jailbroken iPhone or don’t mind jailbreaking your device, then there are a few tweaks you can install from Cydia marketplace and then achieve this functionality on your iDevice. Here we recommend you “Message Scheduler for WhatsApp“. This tweak bakes in the scheduling functionality right into the WhatsApp app for easy access. It has no settings to configure after installation. It works by adding a button titled “Schedule a message” to the message menu in the main WhatsApp app. One can simply tap this option inside the WhatsApp app and choose the date and time when message delivery is desired. Messages can also be scheduled, using this tweak, by long pressing the send button when entering message text. WhatsApp will confirm scheduled message sending when the correct time arrives.

Here are the steps to schedule iPhone WhatsApp messages:

• Step 1. On a jailbroken iPhone, install Message Scheduler for WhatsApp from Cydia.
• Step 2. Open the official WhatsApp Messenger on your iPhone, and then select the person who you want to schedule the messages to.
• Step 3. Then type the messages and long press the “Send” button, and then hit “Schedule a Message” in the popup window.
• Step 4. Finally, set the date and time for when to send the scheduled WhatsApp messages automatically.
  

That’s it, you are done! Your WhatsApp messages will be sent at the scheduled time.
