Wondering how to schedule a text message on iPhone? You’ve come to the right place.
Sometimes, you may want to tell someone something — just not right now. For example, there are times where I’ve wanted to tell a colleague about something pressing, but it’s the wee hours of the morning and I’d prefer to send my text later in the day. At the same time, I don’t want to wait too long for fear I might forget to send the text. This is where iPhone’s text-scheduling feature comes into play.
