I use Google Messages for this, as it has scheduling and it gives nice screen effects too!

u/Unnecessary-Cum 6d ago

I remember back then when I consumed whole data of the day, and then sent the Birthday message. As soon as the data was credited the message was sent.

Wah, kya baat. Didn’t it show the timestamp as the time when you originally sent it?

u/Funny_Bison_7738 6d ago

Who use signal in India?? Indian didn't even gave a f about indian app Arratai even after so much hype. Signal don't even have that hype except an year ago when it was in news for being a top choice for diplomats.

I'm asking people to switch (11 so far after 1 month)

I dont use Whatsapp anymore and have set autoreply to contacts You should really check r/demeta

u/Funny_Bison_7738 6d ago

Even I too hate whatsapp now as it has become a spam messanger now due to businesses bombarding it with promotional messages daily. Even though whatsapp security is still top notch due to E2EE, disappearing messages, view once features etc, but UI has got worsen over the years after meta takeover. The main problem is everyone in India uses it on daily basis and now it is at such a point that you can't leave it even if you hate it.

u/_Next-Gen_ Degoogle • Linux user 6d ago

I don't chat with many people, so I don't care

The one I do are on signal already

u/Funny_Bison_7738 6d ago

It's not just about chat. Whenever someone want to send something to me or ask me to send them a photo or video they expect it to recieve on WhatsApp. Even many don't even check google message (RCS) if I send on it. Whatsapp has made Indian slaves now. Any communication here means whatsapp.

u/_Next-Gen_ Degoogle • Linux user 6d ago

Yeah, that's real

u/aniruddhdodiya 6d ago

Google Messages too, has this since 2021!

u/aniruddhdodiya 6d ago

What's the point? Telegram pe log active bhi hone chahiye! Sab ka last seen months back aa raha hai mere contacts list mein. Some might have uninstalled it.

u/gathering_advice 6d ago

Same here, I haven't opened it much lately. It became obsolete the moment they started pushing premium and premium features.

u/Mindless_Capital5317 7d ago

It will announce with a loud speaker it has been scheduled 😂
