How ‘schedule send’ works in Google Messages

  • Open the latest version of the Messages app. Start a new conversation or enter an existing one. Type the message you’d like to schedule. Don’t hit the send button when the message is composed. Tap and hold the send button. This prompts the scheduled send feature. You can choose to send your message at pre-determined times or whenever. If you choose to set up your own schedule, you’ll see a calendar and time picker. Adjust the date and time and hit “Save” when done. You’ll see the scheduled time above your message with a clock on the send button. Tap the clock send button to schedule your message.
