Finally, the Ease of Scheduling Messages on iPhone!
This is crazy! This is the news that’s got me so excited lately. You know how the feature war between iPhone and Android never ends? Well, honestly, Android has had a secret weapon that makes me drool: the SMS scheduling feature. They can write a message and set when it’s sent. Meanwhile, on iPhone? Ugh, you have to rack your brain, create automations using the Shortcuts app, which, honestly, requires extra patience and a little bit of impromptu coding knowledge. I’ve tried it, and it felt like I was building a rocket to send a ‘good morning’ message!
That’s why, when Mark Gurman from Bloomberg leaked that iOS 18 would have a built-in feature to schedule messages in the Messages app, I immediately shouted ‘YES!’. This isn’t just a regular feature; it’s a complete game-changer for our iPhone experience!
Practical Benefits That Can’t Be Underestimated!
Just imagine, it’s similar to the email scheduling feature that’s been available for a long time in many email services. I often use it for work, especially when I have to send emails to clients in different time zones or don’t want to disturb people with emails outside of working hours. Now, imagine that convenience moving to SMS on your iPhone! No more panic.
I know a lot of you often want to be the first to say ‘good morning, beautiful’ or ‘happy birthday’ right at 12 midnight to special people, but you often fall asleep or forget. With this feature, just set the time and then sleep soundly! Or when you’re on vacation, don’t want to hold your phone all the time but still need to send important reminders? Just set it, and you’re done! This is really a solution for all those ‘important things’ that we often forget because we’re busy. It’s very practical, right?
What Else is Coming at WWDC 2024?
So, all of these mysteries will be revealed very soon, specifically at the Apple Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC 2024) this coming Monday! I can’t wait. Like other tech events this year, I’m sure generative AI will be the main star. But, besides this SMS scheduling feature, I also hope Apple will announce many other surprises for Messages, Mail, macOS 15, and maybe something unexpected for WatchOS or VisionOS.
Anyway, get ready for a massive update that will make our Apple gadgets even more sophisticated and comfortable to use! Stay tuned, I’ll let you know immediately if there’s any news!
