How to schedule text messages on iPhone

Would be much easier to schedule the text when you are ready to send. I have tried the schedule and takes lots of time to setup and send.

JLauri mentioned Samsung has a nice feature to schedule.

I get up real early and hate sending text when I get up. Would like an easy way to schedule the text.

I finally made the transition to iPhone and finding some major shortcomings just like this. It’s comical to have people be so into Apple iOS iPhone etc. and it’s only because they truly don’t know what the other side looks like our offers. As much as I appreciate being able to add flying balloons to my text messages, I find scheduling them to be far more important. How can Apple be so far behind on this? And your suggesting a 10 point automations step for each message that I need to schedule? Comical.

I NEED to be able to schedule texts to be sent during MOST people’s waking hours. I compose my texts around midnight and NEED to post them to be sent (and not WAKE) the reandom person I am texting.(I would take sending it on a silent only kind of mode, but id rather just have what my Walmart extra phone has. The simple ability to SCHEDULE texts. I don’t like being yelled at if i text and accidentally wake somebody during a doze. Thank you.

Then you NEED to buy a different kind of phone.

You can let Apple know what you'd like to see here:

Product Feedback - Apple

so many people told me how superior Apple was too and android. And I took them at their word when in fact the vast majority had no experience with android. Schedule a text message is super useful, Annette with hundreds of people requesting it for years they still haven’t done it.

Well at least I can send balloons and confetti with my text messages.

Some of us have had a lot of experience with Android phones and still prefer iPhones. Not everyone has the same needs or preferences. If an iPhone isn't the right tool for you, you should definitely get something different. Life is way too short to be aggravated by a lump of circuitry, glass and metal.

Thanks for the reply, the overwhelming reason I bought an iphone was to get onto Imessage with my wife and kids. Android phone was cutting down the quality of our videos and pictures. Any feel for how the Verizon app works in group text, as it pertains to content quality, pics, video, etc?

thanks!

Hello Muhurt!

User tips can only be given by people at higher levels. I, as you can see, am also at a low level. There have been times where I felt like giving people tips but couldn't. Instead, you should simply suggest it to someone at a higher level. Thank you!

To everyone else:

Please calm down. The Apple Support Community is not a place to give ideas. We are technically forbidden from doing this. Nobody on these forums actually works for Apple. I too have actually thought of this for a while. I had no idea that Android has already had this for a long time. I understand where you are coming from. Instead of complaining, though, simply suggest this to Apple. Please, don't be angry at Apple. I'm sure Apple welcomes any feedback given by users.

Also, please don't vote up replies simply because the person who wrote them is right. Voting up replies is intended for keeping the replies (like IrisSeabright's) that give the most help.

Thank you all for understanding!

Wow, I didn't realize this community was so heavily regulated - Sometimes people just need a place to vent and if the manufacturer gives a **** they peruse these boards and get it taste for how passionate their users are and about what topics.

I do find it interesting; Tips can only be given 'by people at high levels'? You are 'technically forbidden' to do so?

I'll calm down now as you request - and stop up voting and down voting as you also request.

Actually, I'll just leave.

It's a good idea to read the Terms of Use before agreeing to them.

Hi, I’m not sure about the quality of images or videos by it is a great app for group messages. You can send out to a group or even broadcast so that you aren’t sending everyone’s contact information.

Is there any ray of hope on the horizon that Apple will listen to the wants for this feature?

No one here in this user-to-user forum would know the answer to that. You can let them know your thoughts here:

Product Feedback - Apple

It's no wonder they have to comply with all these new rules in the EU like opening up the appstore and third party apps and default apps because these bozos just don't get it and don't know how to add features people want. Time and time again being left behind by Android look how long it took them to finally settle on the addition of RCS but the implementation is still half *** cause they are petty.

Hello alangeer.

I do not mean to be rude in any way by saying this, but, the Apple Support Community is not a place to "vent." It's a place to find answers, be answered, and do what it says in the name: Support. In all seriousness, you probably should have done what IdrisSeabright said:

And by the way, to give you an answer to what you said:

Apple has reasons for this. They don't want people who just joined, like me, to be giving tips when Apple is not sure if they are 100% reliable. You get to higher levels by earning trust, so it seems fair that you should be trusted by the community to give tips. I am not criticizing this tip. I do find it helpful that users like Muhurt (the author) care about people who need help. Apple just wants to make sure this community stays as it is, a place to get help from fellow Apple users around the world. Please understand. None of us on here mean to offend anyone. We want to help, and Apple does too. They have a place to report issues (Official Apple Support) and a place to give feedback on their products (Product Feedback). Please, if you want to talk to Apple, tell them what you feel needs to be improved through their Product Feedback page.

I'll calm down now as you request - and stop up voting and down voting as you also request.

Thank you for calming down. I never said that you should stop voting and down voting, though. I just said that you should vote up the ones that you feel can get the most help to others instead of ones that you may agree with.

Thank you for reading this, and a special thanks to IdrisSeabright, Kurtosis12, and others who were doing their best to get people the answers they need!

Thank you for these tips, Muhurt! I am sure we all appreciate your hard work. If you want to be able to give official tips, you should browse the community and give help to the people who haven't gotten any answers yet. While leveling up, you will also be helping people who need it.

Once again, thank you. Have an amazing day! :)
