How to schedule a message on Signal

If you want to send a message later at an appropriate time, you can schedule the message instead of sending it right away. In this way, you won’t forget to send an important message to your contacts or groups on the app.

You can schedule messages on the Signal mobile app. We’ll show you how to schedule sending images, videos, and messages in our tutorials below.

How to schedule messages:

1. Open the Signal mobile app from your home screen or app drawer and sign in to your account.
2. Go to one of your conversations on the app and type something in the message field.
3. Tap and hold the paper plane icon and select “Pick Date & Time” from the menu.
   
   
4. Choose the date and time when you want to send the message and tap “Schedule.”
   
   

That’s how you schedule messages on Signal. You can view, edit, or delete scheduled messages on a conversation whenever you want.

How to schedule images and videos:

2. Head to one of your chats on the app.
