WhatsApp Adds Scheduled Messages In Beta

Meta is testing a scheduled-messages feature in a recent WhatsApp iOS TestFlight beta, where a 'Scheduled Messages' menu appeared in Group Info, indicating upcoming functionality for scheduling messages to send later. The capability—seen in a screenshot and expected to reach select beta testers before general rollout—matches features long offered by rivals like Telegram and could streamline timed messages such as birthday wishes and recurring reminders.
