Your message will reach the recipient even if your phone is switched off! This amazing new update could soon arrive on WhatsApp..

WhatsApp is reportedly testing a 'Scheduled Messages' feature with select Android beta users, and it could reach a wider user base in the coming weeks. This feature would allow users to compose messages, share links, and send photos or videos at a specific time without needing to send them manually. It is expected to work in both personal and group chats, even if the sender's device is offline at the scheduled time. Additionally, users will be able to review or delete the message before it is sent.

WhatsApp Rolling Out Scheduled Messages on Android
According to WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is rolling out the scheduled messages feature to select users running 'WhatsApp beta for Android' version 2.26.40.7. To schedule a message, users can type the message in the chat and long-press the send button. If the feature is available, WhatsApp will display an option to select the date and time for delivery.

Reports indicate that the feature supports text messages, links, photos, and videos, although users can schedule only one photo or video at a time. Before scheduling an image, they can edit it or add a caption using the drawing editor. Messages can be scheduled for any time ranging from 10 minutes to two weeks in the future.

Once the scheduled time arrives, WhatsApp will automatically send the message, even if the app is closed or the sender's phone is offline. The feature is expected to work in group chats as well, but the message will likely be delivered only to those who were members of the group at the time the message was scheduled; individuals who join the group later are not expected to receive the message.

Users may also get a dedicated section within the chat info screen to view and delete the message before it is delivered. If a user deletes a scheduled message, the recipient is not expected to receive any notification about it.

This scheduled messaging feature is highly likely to support end-to-end encryption. It is reportedly rolling out to select Android beta testers via the Google Play Store, and its availability is expected to expand in the coming weeks.
