Cosa succede a WhatsApp dal 1 gennaio 2025?
In 2025, WhatsApp itself does not have a built-in timer to schedule messages, but you can schedule WhatsApp messages using third-party tools and automation features on different platforms:
-
On iOS, the Shortcuts app can create automation to send WhatsApp messages at a set time. You create a personal automation triggered by the time of day, add a WhatsApp "Send Message" action, compose the message, and select recipients. You can enable confirmation before sending [1].
-
On Android, third-party apps like SKEDit allow scheduling WhatsApp messages to be sent automatically and notify you upon sending [1].
-
On WhatsApp Web (PC/laptop), browser extensions like Blueticks let you schedule message sending by selecting date and time via the interface [1].
-
With WhatsApp Business API, advanced scheduling and automation are possible, including triggers based on customer actions rather than just time, enabling complex sales cadences with automated follow-ups [1].
Separately, WhatsApp has a feature called disappearing messages (or message timer) that lets messages in a chat disappear after a set interval: 24 hours, 7 days, or 90 days. This is a privacy timer on message retention, not a scheduling timer for sending messages. You can activate it per chat or as the default for new chats to control how long messages stay visible [4] [5] [6].
There is also mention in 2025 updates about new WhatsApp features involving AI and other improvements, but no direct built-in message scheduling feature within WhatsApp is detailed [2].
In summary, to use a timer or scheduling for WhatsApp messages in 2025, you typically rely on third-party apps, automation shortcuts (on iOS), extensions (on Web), or WhatsApp Business API solutions. The disappearing messages timer is a separate privacy feature controlling message lifespan rather than sending time.
If you want a simple "timer" to have messages disappear after sending, use WhatsApp disappearing messages. If you want to send messages at a scheduled time in 2025, use third-party scheduling tools or automation workflows as described.
