“Why can’t we schedule SMS or iMessages on iPhone?”

Hello, I work at night and need to schedule SMS or iMessages to be sent automatically in the morning.


This feature has been available on Android for a long time, and I’m very frustrated that it is still not available on iOS.


Many professionals or people working irregular hours could greatly benefit from this feature.


Thank you to anyone who shares this need to click on “I have the same question” or reply to bring more attention to this request.


Apple, please add this basic functionality!


I’m considering switching to an Android phone because of this, as it would greatly make my life easier.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18
