Scheduling a text/email/reminder/notification is always convenient. It could help you remember and greet people on birthdays, without having to stay up till midnight and could prevent you from forgetting to pick up groceries. Did you know you could schedule your WhatsApp texts?
There are a handful of apps available on the Google Play Store that let you schedule not just WhatsApp messages, but also images and videos. The best part is that the basic functionality works on both rooted and unrooted Android smartphones. Of course, there might be limitations with the basic version, and you may have to upgrade to premium for all the functions to work. But, let’s look at some of the WhatsApp scheduler apps available in Store.
‘Scheduler for WhatsApp’ and ‘Scheduler NO ROOT’ are among the ones that are easy to use, and worked well for me. And for those who have a rooted Android device, the ‘Seebye Scheduler ROOT’ would do the trick.
After installing any of the mentioned apps, simply open it and give the required permissions. Next, you’ll also have to head over to Settings -> Accessibility -> Services and enable the service. Once this is done, you’re all set to go.
Do note, for the message to be sent, the device’s screen should be unlocked, and there should not be any screen lock – such as PIN, Pattern or Fingerprint lock. This may sound odd, but due to security concerns, these apps cannot bypass security screen. So, if you have set a schedule to send a WhatsApp message at 12:00PM, and you unlock the screen at 1:00PM, it only will be sent then. However, if you have a rooted Android device, the app can bypass the security screen and send the message right away.
Now, to schedule WhatsApp messages, open ‘Scheduler for WhatsApp’ and tap on the ‘+’ icon on the bottom left. Here, you’ll have to select choose between WhatsApp group or individual contact, followed by selecting the recipient. Next, you’ll have to select the date and time when you want to send the message, followed by frequency and message. The frequency of the scheduled messages can be once, daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.
Have fun!
