How to schedule a message for sending later in iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 

You can schedule a message in Messages in iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 to send at a later time. Here’s how:

° Launch Messages and create a message.

° Instead of tapping the send icon, tap and hold it. 

° You should now see the scheduling menu with four options to either send now, send tonight, send tomorrow morning or send later. Choose the last option.

° You’ll see a Calendar panel that lets you set the date and time for your message to be sent. Just make sure that your iPhone or iPad is actually on at the time you want the message to be send.
