The race between Apple and Android features could be getting closer.
In the eternal battle between Apple phones and Android phones, Android has gotten a head start on one key feature: you can schedule text messages in advance on Android devices. Of course, you can schedule text messages on an iPhone – if you have the time and patience to create a complicated shortcut automation for it.
According to Bloomberg Marc Gurman, Apple is set to announce that iOS 18 will allow users to compose a message in Messages and schedule it to be sent at another time. It’s one of the most useful features on any device – and fans will definitely be excited about the scheduling feature being more transparent if Gurman’s report rings true.

Think of this new feature the same way you might schedule an email to send if you’re working with someone in a different time zone or don’t want to send an email after hours. work. Or if you’re one of those “hello, beautiful” people and want to make sure your text arrives before the others. It’s also great for texting during the holidays or making sure you wish your best friend a happy birthday the second the clock strikes midnight. You know, important things like that.
We’ll find out for sure at Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC 2024) on Monday. Like many tech events this year, it will likely be centered around generative artificial intelligence, but we’re also expecting announcements on new features for Messages, Mail, macOS 15, and more.
