I am not good at remembering people’s birthdays, and therefore, I keep the reminders to wish my loved ones in the middle of the night. Until now, I did not know there was a way to schedule WhatsApp messages on iPhone.
A couple of days ago, I learned that a scheduled WhatsApp message iPhone shortcut is available for iOS users running iOS 16 or iOS 15.
