Overview of the functionality of the Scheduled application on the iPhone

The Scheduled application works quite transparently. First, we select the contact that should receive messages, then enter the text of the message and indicate the time and date when it should be sent. What happens next? On the day and hour you set, the Scheduled app will display a reminder on your iPhone screen to send the message. The text can be sent by any of the supported Scheduled applications, it will already be copied from the corresponding field - the default "Apple" Messages, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, Twitter, Mail (to send a message by email) and Phone (you can call a contact to transfer the desired message in words).

The Scheduled application on the iPhone does an excellent job of its functionality, reminding you at the right time to send messages. We receive a notification, select the application through which we want to communicate the information, and Scheduled fills in the required fields on its own. In addition to the apps mentioned above, you can also use Skype, WeChat, Slack and even LinkedIn.

The application has the ability to configure the recurrence of messages - for example, once and for all, you can solve the problem with birthday greetings to friends by specifying in Scheduled that the event is repeated every year. True, the text will be the same. Interestingly, the app can import birthdays from the calendar if you've already entered them there. In this case, the procedure will take a few seconds.

The Scheduled application has a noticeable drawback - it is not yet possible to configure automatic sending of messages, but the developers claim that they are already working on expanding the functionality. Apple is often skeptical about applications that can automatically send messages.

In the free version of Scheduled, you can schedule only three messages. Quite frankly. Another drawback of the application is that after the first launch it is difficult to find an option to switch to the premium version through in-app purchases, so you have to go to the App Store. Setting the date in the application could also be implemented more conveniently - in the form of a familiar calendar, and not a selection wheel.

Verdict

A small but useful iPhone application that will help you to work with messages and communicate more effectively. It integrates well with contacts, supports almost any method of sending messages, including popular instant messengers like WhatsApp and Telegram, and also offers the ability to set up recurring events. Alas, Scheduled does not automatically send messages, but the owner of the iOS platform, Apple, does not like this functionality. In general, Scheduled on the iPhone is a pretty handy messaging application, and for many it can be an indispensable utility. We recommend it to everyone who often sends a lot of messages from a smartphone in different applications.

SMS scheduler a couple of lifesavers when sending congratulations. I constantly forget to wish someone a happy birthday or some other holiday. This is because I am now constantly at home with a small child, and sometimes I forget not what date it is today, but I also don’t remember the day of the week. And remembering when and who has a birthday is not so easy, of course, if these are not your closest people. And with the SMS scheduler, this problem disappears - I wrote down a congratulation, planned it for a specific date and time, and you can forget about this problem.

SMS scheduler helps me and myself, to perform any tasks. As a rule, I write down what I need to buy, do and plan to send an SMS to my number at a certain time. Sometimes the SMS planner helps me out this way. For example, often in the store we forget to buy salt, sugar, etc., despite the fact that we walk around the store and look at it (maybe only I am so absent-minded). You can schedule an SMS “buy sugar” in advance for the approximate time of your stay in the store, and the SMS planner will help you remember to buy such little things.

SMS scheduler also helps to take care of yourself. In the morning I planned to make a face mask in the evening, and an SMS planner will help remind you. Well, or for example, you can remind me to take a medicine, do something, etc.
Of all the SMS planners, I chose this one, as it is easier to use. There is no need to memorize phone numbers, as it is done in other similar programs. It is very convenient that when you send SMS, the program asks you to send SMS now or postpone it. Thanks to the author for the program.

SMS is a convenient and useful thing. Without them, as without hands. But do you always send short messages on time? Never in a hurry have you confused the addressees, or, even worse, have you forgotten about the need to send? Delayd is designed to solve this problem.

Startup Tinyyo Limited has developed a messaging service that allows you to set the distribution time for SMS messages and publications on social networks. The main feature of the program is the ability to preset the time for sending ordinary SMS or multimedia messages with photos and video to contacts in the address book. The user sets the time and date of sending, the text of the message, selects one or more recipients. It is possible to edit scheduled messages.

As a result, you do not have to worry that you will forget to wish someone of your friends or relatives a happy birthday if you set up Delayd in advance to send SMS greetings on certain dates. You found out that the milk has run out, and your mistress is at an important meeting that will end at seven? Indicate to Delayd that the message "Honey, don't forget to buy milk" should be sent after seven o'clock. The SMS will not distract her from her work and will come just in time.

In the same way, you can wake up your SMS friend who asked for it or distribute congratulations in advance before the holiday. There can be many reasons, but there is only one solution - Delayd.

Messages can be divided into groups: birthdays, anniversaries and social group. Apparently, they meant generally accepted holidays and some absolutely everyday nuances. You can also specify whether the proposal should be reminded to send a message, and whether you need to do the mailing with some kind of cyclicality (every day, week, month, year).

The application continues to work even after restarting the iPhone. All data is stored on the service, so scheduled messages will be sent even if the smartphone's battery is completely discharged.

In general, the idea of ​​the application is very interesting, although not innovative. The interface is simple, visually very pleasant. The main drawback of the service is that Russia is not yet on the list of countries where Delayd operates. It is supported in the USA, UK, Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Brunei, Canada, China, Gambia, India, Israel, Pakistan, South Africa. But the developers promise to regularly expand the list of regions, so in any case, Russian users should download the application in order to immediately find out about the release of the corresponding update.

Delayd is free and offers 50 free SMS. Over-limit messages are charged separately: $ 0.99 for 50 messages, $ 1.99 for 100 messages, $ 2.99 for 250 SMS, and $ 3.99 for 500 SMS.

And how to postpone the publication of your post for a certain time.

It often happens that a written post needs to be published not right now, but postpone publication for a certain time. This is especially true when you run your own group, where you regularly post posts at the same time. Therefore, the timer is a great opportunity to schedule when your posts are published.

How to make a delayed recording in VK

You can postpone the publication time both for posts on the user's page and on the community wall or public page. The essence and principle are the same. Let's take a look at applying a timer to a post on a user's page.

1. Write a post of any content, then select “More” in the attachment panel, and select “Timer” from the drop-down list.

3. You can activate the lock icon (), and then your post after publication will be visible only.

4. After the date and time have been set, press the "Add to queue" button. On the wall in the upper part there will be a new tab “Postponed” with a counter, opening which you can see the postponed post. Here in the settings you can delete the entry or select the "Edit" item, where you can change the content of the entry and the date and time of its publication. The "Publish Now" function is also available - if you suddenly change your mind about waiting for the posting time you have appointed.

5. You can create as many deferred publications as you like. In this case, the bookmark counter displays the number of scheduled publications.

You can postpone a recording in a VK group in the same way. It is precisely in communities and on public pages that this function is especially relevant and used more often.

VKontakte message timer

There are often questions on the network - is it possible to set the timer to? So far, the site does not have such an option, and the timer function can only be applied to posts on the wall of a group or user. Perhaps in the future, the development team will implement such an opportunity.
