# Send Later

> Write a message now and have it sent at the right moment, once or again and again, and see everything waiting to go under your last message.

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.
