Has this been removed from modern Android?
Or just LG? I have the V40 ThinQ and this Diane seem to be built in. It was always so easy from my Samsung Galaxy phones.
I also have an LG phone (G6) & despite following all of the above steps and exploring all of the utility/settings menu, there is no “schedule” option. Please help!
There is no way to swipe left on a pixel running android 9. There is no schedule option.
I’m with Lisa having the same issue
Since the last update ran I no longer have any offs these options. I followed your steps Anna i used to send delayed messages alot. Can we do this some other way?
On my S5, I had easily set it to put a five second delay on all texts and emails. Is this still possible?
Nope!
Nope.
Would be great if there were an option to set the schedule… BUT THERE ISN’T!
