By ‘scheduled message’ i mean i can write an IM and hit a button to say “send this message at XX o’ clock” or “send this message in XX minutes”.
It’s an insanely simple functionality that everyone wants but doesn’t come as standard on:- SMS, Whatsapp, Messenger, Instagram, Snapchat, Discord (i think) or others.
Is this harder to impliment than i understand or is it susceptible to a vulnerability or exploit i haven’t considered?
In: Technology
I’m surprised so many people think it isn’t useful/desired, i think people on reddit are more tech savvy than most
most of my friends has opined that it should exist at some point.
the use cases i think it is good for are:-
reminders before events e.g. text my wife 20 minutes before she leaves home to remindher to bring the sunscreen
not wishing to disturb someone at night/on holiday
holding a text message until business hours or until after business hours
texting a child to do something at the appropriate time like pick up shopping on the way home from school
texting a colleague that a deadline is coming up closer to said deadline
pre-texting a message for a special event like a birthday when you won’t have acess to a phone at the time
time differences in countries/states
sending a text you want to go at a time you know you will be driving
but I guess the answer is unaffected, not enough to demand to justify
