Even worse, how many times have you sent a text message and then instantly regretted it because it wasn’t good timing? It’s happened to the best of us but, fortunately, the solution to these problems is here. These two iOS apps can save the day because they allow you schedule texts to send your messages later. There’s also an app can even schedule social media posts like tweets. Unlike your messages, let’s not delay getting into these apps.
1. Delayd
Delayd is brand new to the App Store but it’s already setting the standard for how an app should schedule text messages and social media posts. All you have to do to register and download the app, include your mobile phone number and enter the 4-digit PIN code that’s sent to you via text message. If you want to be able to schedule messages and posts for social media, you can optionally log in with your email address, Facebook or Twitter. Source: ValueWalk To schedule text messages, emails or social media posts, you just tap the service you want to schedule it for at the bottom: SMS, email, Facebook or Twitter. Choose the contact(s) you want to send it to (or manually enter a phone number) followed by the time you want it to send out and your own message. You can also have the message automatically recur every day, week, month or year if you’d like. The only weird disappointment is that the scheduled messages don’t send from your own phone number, they send from Delayd’s own number. Cool Tip: This scheduler app comes with 50 credits to boot, which is more than enough to give it a test drive. Posting to Facebook, Twitter and email is free, so scheduling text is the only service that will cost you. If you run out of your 50 credits, you can purchase them in affordable packs starting at 50 for $0.99 all the way up to 500 for $3.99. Delayd itself is totally free and available for Apple devices.

2. Text Timer
Text Timer is a scheduling app that’s little bit more bare-bones and straightforward than Delayd. It doesn’t support scheduling posts for social media platforms or email, so it’s text messages only. All you have to do in Text Timer is tap the Compose button to choose the date and time you want to schedule text messages for, choose the recipients from your contacts and type your message. It’s simple, clean and most importantly, it works. Plus it’s free, so unlike Delayd you don’t have to keep buying credits to continue scheduling your messages. If you’re looking for something to efficiently delay text messages (an oxymoron if I’ve ever seen one) without the bells and whistles or price of Delayd, Text Timer is a great alternative.
