"Send Later" option not appearing in Message app iOS 18

“So what’s the answer?”

Wait and see if the EU sues Apple… ?

Stop texting android users… ?

Live with it as Apple intended.

Typical Apple “send later” ONLY works on Apple devices. Ridiculous android has had this since at least 2010. What does timing a message have to do with OS. Fix it Apple!

I can no longer send delayed Messages. Was working after last update and even earlier today. Now no choice to delay send. Please advise

Both Apple devices have to be running the latest IOS for it to work. I can’t see it for a person that I know has an Iphone6s with the latest available iOS for “that” phone and it doesn’t show up.

I tried this, and I also tried engaging the focus, but neither of these have fixed my situation. Maybe I will reboot my phone and then maybe it will work. Please God.

Step 1 - remove the androids from the To: box.

If you ask Apple, they will tell you it is working as intended.

All these "bug reports" are really feature requests.

It appears to depend on the recipient.

send later not showing up after the update on iPhone 16 promax. Followed instructions and nothing,

I powered my phone off and it came back. What I just now realized I believe you can only schedule the messages for iPhone users and not droid users, which is not great or cool

I verified my phone has the most up to date software and still cannot schedule a text. This is VERY FRUSTRATING. How can this be fixed?

send later only appears if you are sending a message to an iphone. If recipient is using an android phone it wont appear.

Same here! It’s appearing but when trying to use send later , it’s disappeared when selecting receiver name

It worked for me to Android I did a few tests, then it disappeared. It would be amazing for it to work!

Send later option appears when recipients have apple. How would I know what device they have? Stupid. Apple needs to fix it
