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?

Bit of a false premise there, the “everyone wants” part. It wouldn’t be a very useful feature for the overwhelming majority of people. It wouldn’t be that hard to implement (I’m already running through the python code in my head to make such a script, although I can’t imagine why I would need it), but app designers aren’t going to spend time, money, and resources on a feature that relatively few people are going to utilize.
This is going to sound like Stack Overflow, but the answer to this would be, “why would you want to?” I can think of use cases from, say, an advertising perspective, maybe an managerial perspective, but other than that? Most people aren’t going to want to receive pre-scheduled text messages, nor are they going to have any reason to send them.
