WhatsApp is testing a way to write a message now and have it sent later on iPhone. Here is how it would work and what is still unknown.
WhatsApp is working on a message scheduling tool for iPhone, according to ShiftDelete.Net. You would write a message now and pick a time for it to go out later. It is meant for both one-on-one chats and group chats. It is still in testing and is not available to the general public.
Users will likely start by long-pressing the send button, which would open the scheduling screen. A separate list would show every message waiting to go out. From there you could edit a message or cancel it. If you delete a scheduled message before it sends, the recipients are not notified.
The group rule keeps new members from getting old messages that were written before they arrived.
The feature is being tested through TestFlight, Apple's tool for trying apps before they are released. It has not yet reached the wider group of beta testers. WhatsApp has not confirmed a release date. The report says a broader rollout is expected in the coming months as testing ends. Nothing has been said about cost, and details could change before launch.
Scheduled WhatsApp messages may come to iPhone in the coming months, but there is no release date, so nothing to do yet.
