After Gmail and Telegram, you can now schedule chats and texts on Google Messages

Gmail and messaging apps like Telegram already allow you to schedule messages. Now, Google Messages is going to offer you that too. The schedule messages functionality showed up for a few users as a part of an a/b test in the beginning of November, according to Android Police, and now this feature is starting to roll out more widely. For now users in the US are getting the functionality, other Google Messages users across the world should be getting it soon.

The new function replaces the long-press shortcut for sending an MMS with a subject.

Since the feature is just rolling out, it might still take a little time before users can schedule messages on their phones.
