Tech tip of the day!
Schedule a text message:
Let’s say your mom’s birthday is in a week and you don’t want to forget to wish her a happy birthday. Scheduling a text message is an easy cheat.
iPhone: While there is no built-in function to schedule a text on iPhones, you can try a workaround using the Shortcuts app. After opening the app, tap on the Automation icon at the bottom of the screen and select Create Personal Automation. Click on “Time of Day,” choose the time of day you want to send the message and the day of the week, then tap Next > Send Message. Tap on Message and type your message, then tap Recipients and select who you want the message to go to. Finish by tapping Next > Done. After the big day, remember to turn off the automation, or your message will continue to send at the scheduled time the following week.
Android: To schedule a text message on an Android, write the text, then simply tap and hold the “Send” button, choose from the suggestions or select your own date and time, then tap “Send.”
