"Send Later" option not appearing in Message app iOS 18

My family all have iPhones but I still don’t get a send later option. Do they have to all be on iOS 18?

I am OS 18, although my sister who I sent scheduled messenger text to doesn’t. I think it’s probably still buggy & working for some & not others.

Thank you, that’s exactly what I was trying to do.

“Send later” is not appearing in my list on message app iOS 18

In messaging “send later” does not appear

how do I fix this?

also update yours “tips”

I upgraded to IOS18. Send later is not showing up no matter what. Even if the recipient has an iphone. Both iPhone and iPad do not work.

I have tried several times it showed up once now no matter what I do it’s not there 😠

It only works on other iPhones and it’s not even sending until you go back and send the message manually. What a joke

No it doesn't. I have tried to no avail Apple got to fix this bug.

Same problem. So what’s the answer? I had send later after the update, and it is no longer appearing! I am very frustrated.

“So what’s the answer?”

Wait and see if the EU sues Apple… ?

Stop texting android users… ?

Live with it as Apple intended.

Typical Apple “send later” ONLY works on Apple devices. Ridiculous android has had this since at least 2010. What does timing a message have to do with OS. Fix it Apple!

Careful. Criticizing Apple they remove your comment!

they wont actually do anything about making it work. Except suggest this forum!

getting very fed up with Apple.

I can no longer send delayed Messages. Was working after last update and even earlier today. Now no choice to delay send. Please advise

same thing😞 what should we do next?
