How many times have you tried to remember to send an important text message in the future, like a happy birthday wish or a good luck message before an exam day, and then forgot to press the button. Send ?
Worse yet, how many times have you texted and immediately regretted it because it wasn't the right time? It's happened to the best of us, but luckily the solution to these problems is here.
These two iOS apps can save the day as they allow you to schedule SMS to send your messages later. There's also an app that can even schedule social media posts like tweets. Contrary to your messages, let's not delay entering these applications.
Delayd is brand new to the App Store, but it already sets the standard for how an app should schedule text messages and social media posts. All you have to do is sign up and download the app, include your mobile phone number and enter the 4-digit PIN that is texted to you.
If you want to be able to schedule posts and posts for social media, you can optionally log in with your email, Facebook, or Twitter address.
To schedule text, email, or social media posts, just tap the service you want to schedule it for at the bottom:Text, Email, Facebook, or Twitter. Choose the contact(s) you want it sent to (or manually enter a phone number) followed by the time you want it sent and your own message.
You can also have the message recur automatically every day, week, month, or year if you wish. The only weird disappointment is that scheduled messages aren't sent from your own phone number, they're sent from Delayd's own number.
Cool Tip: Email and social media also have different fields suitable for these posts. In emails you can also include a Cc address and subject line while on Facebook you can add a photo.This scheduling app comes with 50 credits to get started, which is more than enough to give it a test drive. Posting to Facebook, Twitter, and email is free, so text scheduling is the only service that will cost you. If you run out of your 50 credits, you can buy them in affordable packs starting at 50 for $0.99 all the way up to 500 for $3.99.
Delayd itself is completely free and available for Apple devices.

It does not support scheduling posts for social media platforms or emails, so these are just text messages. 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, choose recipients from your contacts, and type your message.
It's simple, clean and above all, it works. Plus, it's free, so unlike Delayd, you don't need to keep buying credits to keep scheduling your posts.
If you're looking for something to effectively delay text messages (an oxymoron if I've ever seen one) without the bells and whistles or price tag of Delayd, Text Timer is a great alternative.
