Add a 1–60 minute delay, recognize the scheduled message, and cancel it when permitted.

1 min readUpdated September 9, 2026

Use Timed delay to schedule a message after a delay of 1–60 minutes. Timed Messages require Pro or Elite and a supported creator platform.

Check availability

When Timed Messages are unavailable for the plan or creator platform, Timed delay is locked or absent.

Schedule the message

  1. In the composer, open Plus.

  2. Enable Timed delay.

  3. Choose a delay from 1 to 60 minutes. A delay of 0 means the message is not deferred.

  4. Compose the text and, when available, add media or PPV settings.

  5. Send the message normally.

Recognize a scheduled message

While scheduled, look for the Sends in countdown on the message. It changes to Sending as the scheduled time approaches. These labels show the scheduled state rather than confirming delivery or guaranteeing it at an exact second.

Cancel a scheduled message

  1. While the message is still scheduled, find its trash action.

  2. If you have cancel access, choose the trash action to cancel the message.
