I scheduled this bun in earlier this morning. It just arrived now [+] |

//And an email version as well please.//
This is doable in Microsoft Outlook by using "Delay Delivery". |

You can use a special lotion for that too. |

I'd settle for texts that arrive within a decent time of
being sent. Yesterday, I texted my wife while she was
downstairs (the Textie app for iStuff is free, so we use it
sort of like an intercom), but she didn't receive it until
almost 90 minutes later. It wouldn't have been such a big
deal if she hadn't been deeply meditating at the time. |

Good idea, but not actionable. Needs another idea, that tells how one
would make this happen at scale. Already 7 years passed, no major
OS/vendor/manufacturer had noticed. |
|

Real use-case: Living on many time zones, want to write something right
away, but not disturb someone's sleep? Just set the message auto-
deliver at a later time... |

My phone (Samsung Galaxy X-Cover 4 running Android 8.1.0)
can do this. My previous one probably could too, but I never
needed it so I dunno... |

So maybe they have that feature for SMS, but what about all the
messengers? This can be generalized to scheduling actions on all apps,
and require generic control of apps. That what generally OS is for. But
OS had not advanced to the degree that it would master over apps and
their interfaces (yet). However, it's not that hard to imagine it. |
|
| |
Since I don't use any "others" I couldn't say, but I would
strongly suspect that they can, if you look deep enough.
Expecting the OS to control the "inner" functions of third-
party apps is a bit much, however. |
|

AppleScript can do that. I doubt it's supported on iOS at all, but it's been around doing things like that on the Mac since System 7 (!). |
|

On Android, there are some automation apps, the best known of which several years ago was Tasker. I believe other apps (like messaging apps) can expose functionality to these automation apps to allow themselves to be automated, though I don't know how this is done. |
