How to schedule text, photo and video messages in Telegram

Unlike iMessage or WhatsApp, the Telegram app offers a way to schedule text messages, photos, and videos. Once you schedule your message, it will be sent automatically at the set time.

So, whether it’s wishing a friend a happy birthday at midnight sharp or messaging with colleagues at the right time in the future, you can easily schedule your Telegram messages, and this guide shows you how to do it from your iPhone, Android phone., iPad or Mac.

How to schedule messages in Telegram

Open the Telegram app on your phone or computer and enter a private chat, group chat, or channel conversation.
Enter the message you want to schedule.
Do not touch or press the blue send arrow. Instead, touch and hold or press and hold the send arrow button and select Schedule message.
Select the date and time you would like this scheduled message to be sent automatically.
Click “Send on date”(03/16/2023) at “Time”(00:01).

You have successfully scheduled a message in Telegram. Click Close to exit the Scheduled Messages screen. Your message will be sent automatically at the time you choose.

Note. You cannot schedule messages from the Telegram website at web.telegram.org. You need a computer app.

Schedule more posts

After scheduling one message, you can schedule another by entering a new message on the Scheduled Messages screen, tapping the schedule icon, and selecting a date and time.

In addition, you can also follow the normal steps to schedule more messages after exiting the scheduled messages screen.

View scheduled messages

Open the conversation for which you scheduled the message.
Tap the scheduled message icon in the Message field to view scheduled messages for that person, group, or channel.

Note:

If you don’t see the scheduled message icon in the message window, it means that no messages are scheduled for this chat.
There is currently no centralized place to view all of your scheduled Telegram messages.
You can’t see if you’ve scheduled a chat message if you don’t enter the conversation. A tiny scheduled message icon on the main chat screen would be a welcome addition.

Edit, reschedule, send now or delete a scheduled Telegram message

Access your scheduled message by following the steps above.
Press and hold a scheduled message and choose Send Now, Reschedule, Edit, or Delete.

How to schedule photos and videos in Telegram
