With Send Later, you write a message to Dvina now and choose when it goes: tomorrow morning, next Friday or every week. Dvina can set one too, like a call at the time you asked for.

Schedule a message

  1. Type your message.
  2. Open Message options, the arrow beside Send, and choose Send later…. You can also open the Dock and choose Schedule message.
  3. Pick a day, then a Time. You can type a time, like 9:30.
  4. To send it again and again, choose a Repeat: Daily, Weekly, Every 2 weeks, Monthly, Every 3 months, Every 6 months or Yearly. To send it once, leave it on Never.
  5. Choose the button that says when it goes, like Send tomorrow at 9:00 AM.

The message waits until its time, marked Send Later. When it goes, it says Sent from Send Later. A repeating message stays waiting for its next time.

A message can repeat at most once an hour, and you can have up to 50 scheduled messages. You can't schedule from a temporary chat.

See what's waiting

Your waiting messages sit under the last message in your chat.

  • Pull up: At the end of your chat, keep pulling past the last message. When it says Release to open, let go, and your waiting messages open.
  • From the Dock: Choose Scheduled messages. It shows how many are waiting, and lists each one with when it goes and how it repeats.

Change or cancel a message

On a waiting message, choose Edit to change its words, its day or its time, then save it.

For more, right-click the waiting message (touch and hold on a phone):

  • Send Now: Send it right away.
  • Edit Time: Pick a new day or time.
  • Pause: Hold it until you choose Resume.
  • Delete: Remove it.

In Scheduled messages, open a message's actions to choose Pause or Resume, Edit, Send now or Cancel.

Paused or not sent

  • Send Later · Paused: The message waits until you choose Resume.
  • Not Sent: Something went wrong. Choose Try Again. If it happens while you're away, a notification tells you.

Messages and calls Dvina sets

Ask Dvina to send something later, or to call you at a time, and it sets it up for you. A note under its reply says what it set, like Dvina will call you. Choose Show in Send Later to see it waiting.

  • A message Dvina set waits with yours, marked Send Later · Dvina. You can change it the same way.
  • A call Dvina will make waits as Dvina will call you, with why it will call. To take it now, choose Call Now.

When to use

  • You think of something at night that you want to send in the morning.
  • You want the same check-in every week without having to remember it.
  • You want Dvina to call you at a set time, like before you leave for the airport.
