Have you ever wanted to send a message at the perfect time, like a birthday wish at midnight or a business reminder in the morning? Unfortunately, WhatsApp doesn’t yet support message scheduling by default—but that doesn’t mean it can’t be done!
In this guide, we’ll explore smart ways to schedule WhatsApp messages in 2025, whether you use Android, desktop, or WhatsApp Business.
📱 METHOD 1: USE AN APP LIKE SKEDit (FOR ANDROID USERS)
The easiest way to schedule WhatsApp messages on Android is through a trusted third-party app called SKEDit Scheduling App. It’s free and safe to use when downloaded from the official Google Play Store.
Steps to Schedule a WhatsApp Message with SKEDit:
- Download and install SKEDit from the Play Store.
- Open the app and create a free account.
- Tap on WhatsApp inside the app dashboard.
- Grant all permissions, especially Accessibility Service permissions.
- Select the contact you want to message.
- Type your message.
- Set the date and time you want it to be sent.
- Choose whether to send it automatically or with manual confirmation.
Note: SKEDit does not currently support WhatsApp Business due to policy changes.
🧠 METHOD 2: WHATSAPP BUSINESS TRICK (QUICK REPLIES + REMINDERS)
While WhatsApp Business doesn’t support full message scheduling, you can prepare and reuse messages using the “Quick Reply” feature. Here’s how:
Steps:
- Install and open WhatsApp Business.
- Go to Settings > Business Tools > Quick Replies.
- Tap + to create a new quick reply, e.g.
/birthdaywith a message like “Happy Birthday 🎉!” - When it’s time, open the chat and type
/birthdayto instantly paste and send it.
This method is great for recurring messages and saves you time even if it’s not true automation.
💻 METHOD 3: USE WHATSAPP WEB + GOOGLE CALENDAR REMINDERS
If you work on a laptop or desktop, this creative method can work wonders. While it won’t send messages automatically, it ensures you never forget to send them:
Steps:
- Compose your message and copy it to your clipboard or save it in a draft note.
- Set a Google Calendar reminder at your desired time.
- Include a link to WhatsApp Web in the reminder.
- At the reminder time, simply click the link, open the chat, paste your message, and hit send.
This is especially useful for students, entrepreneurs, or office workers who already use their laptops daily.
🔒 SECURITY TIP: STAY SAFE
Always use only trusted apps from the Google Play Store or verified developers. Never install WhatsApp automation tools that ask for your password — WhatsApp does not use passwords and such requests are scams!
🌟 BONUS: WHAT ABOUT IOS (IPHONE USERS)?
Unfortunately, iOS does not allow third-party apps to interact with WhatsApp deeply enough for scheduling. You can try using the Shortcuts app to create reminder alerts with preset messages, but you’ll still have to send them manually.
📅 IS OFFICIAL SCHEDULING COMING SOON?
Meta (the parent company of WhatsApp) has tested scheduled messaging for WhatsApp Business API users. However, this is only available for enterprise-level businesses, not for everyday users. Hopefully, an update in the future will bring this feature to everyone.
🚀 WRAPPING UP
Whether you want to wish a friend happy birthday at midnight, remind a customer, or simply stay organized, scheduled messaging on WhatsApp is possible — even if it’s not built in yet. With tools like SKEDit, creative tricks in WhatsApp Business, and desktop calendar hacks, you can take control of your time and communication.
Try it out and watch your productivity rise!
