Slightly off topic, but as a relatively recent convert from Android to iOS, one of the things I miss most is the ability to schedule messages with Textra.
I live on the East Coast now, but most of my friends are back on the West Coast. Sometimes, I have a thought or idea in the EST morning that I want to send to a west coast friend. That’s far too early in PST to be receiving messages—who knows who forgot to mute sound before going to bed—so I loved being able to schedule a text message to send during a decent hour on the West Coast.
Sounds like a super useful feature for slack. Would love it in iMessage.
- elliekelly 5y agoYou might be able to use Apple’s “shortcuts” app to hack something like this together.
- lloeki 5y agoUnfortunately timers in Shortcuts are incredibly limited (tried to use it to turn off a smart light after 15min) Which is a shame, there's so much potential in Shortcuts but every time I face a use case and come up with an idea I seem to hit a limit in what's allowed.
- gorbypark 5y agoI always thought that a "silent" message would be a good option, in addition to scheduled message. The sender would be able to pick a "don't make a sound or vibrate the recipients device" option when sending a message. This would probably be a feature for 1:1 messages or chat apps (WhatsApp, etc) more than sending to entire channels (but I guess that would be on okay option too).
