According to a report by WABetaInfo, the scheduled messages feature has been spotted in a new beta version of WhatsApp for Android devices.

 The feature will allow users to schedule their messages in advance so that they can be sent at a specific time.

 This means users will have to type their message, select a date and time, and the message will then be delivered automatically at the scheduled time.

The report states that this feature can be used for text messages, links, images and videos in both individual and group chats.

The feature is currently available to a limited number of users, even in the beta version, but the process of using it is very simple.

After typing a message, users will need to press and hold the send icon instead of tapping it. A box will open, allowing them to select the date and time for sending the message.

It should be noted that this box will appear only if the feature is available to the user.

According to the report, users will be able to schedule a message for anywhere between 10 minutes and two weeks in advance.

Scheduled messages can be viewed on the chat information screen and can also be deleted.

As mentioned above, the feature has only been spotted in the beta version, so it is difficult to say when it will be introduced for all users.
