Why ‘Scheduled Messages’ are not a standard feature in every messaging service

324 viewsOtherTechnology

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?

It’s really just not a very desired feature for most people

Most messaging apps go for sleek designs, and only show options that most people use. Adding more options bloats the app, and makes it more confusing for the vast majority of people who just want the basics

You can absolutely find apps targeted towards power users, that give all sorts of options like this
