Steps
Open WhatsApp and tap the three dots in the top right corner, then tap Settings to check which version you are running.
Go to Settings, then Help, then App info. Note the version number shown there.
Open the Play Store, search for WhatsApp and tap Update if a button appears. An outdated build is the most common reason the option is missing.
If you use a modded or cloned WhatsApp, uninstall it and install the official WhatsApp from the Play Store. Schedule messages only work in the official app.
Restart your phone, then open WhatsApp again and check that you are signed in with your number.
Open any chat, type your message and long press the send button. A small menu should appear with a schedule option.
Pick a date and time from the calendar and clock that appear, then confirm to queue the message.
For photos or videos, attach the file in the chat, add a caption, then long press send and choose the schedule time the same way.
To check or cancel a queued message, open the chat and tap the scheduled message notice above the text box.
Tips and common mistakes
Long press means hold the send button for about a second, not a quick tap.
The schedule option is rolled out by region, so a fully updated app may still wait a few days for it.
Scheduled messages only send if your phone is on and connected to the internet at that time.
Never install WhatsApp mods to get the feature. They can get your account banned.
Questions
Why is the schedule option not showing on my phone?
Most often the app is outdated or you are using a modded version. Update from the Play Store and use the official app, then long press the send button.
Can I schedule a message for a group chat?
Yes, the same long press on send works in group chats. The message is sent to the group at the time you choose.
What happens if my phone is off at the scheduled time?
The message will not send until your phone is back online and WhatsApp can reach the server. Check the chat afterwards to confirm it went out.
