Postponed publications on VKontakte. How does the VK timer work?

SMS scheduler a couple of lifesavers when sending congratulations. I always forget to congratulate someone on their birthday or some other holiday. This is because I am now constantly at home with a small child, and sometimes I not only forget what date it is, but I also don’t remember the day of the week. And remembering when and who’s birthday is not so easy, of course, if these are not your closest people. But with an SMS scheduler, this problem disappears - you wrote down a congratulation, scheduled it for a specific date and time, and you can forget about this problem.

SMS scheduler helps me myself to complete any tasks. I usually write down what I need to buy, do and plan for certain time sending SMS to your number. Sometimes the SMS scheduler helps me out this way. For example, we often forget to buy salt, sugar, etc. in the store, despite the fact that we walk around the store and look at it (maybe I’m just so absent-minded). You can pre-schedule an SMS “buy sugar” for the approximate time of your stay in the store, and the SMS scheduler will help you remember to buy such little things.

SMS scheduler It also helps you take care of yourself. In the morning I planned to make a face mask in the evening, and the SMS planner will help remind me. Well, or, for example, you can remind them to take medicine, do something, etc.
Of all the SMS schedulers, I chose this one because it is easier to use. There is no need to remember phone numbers, as is done in other similar programs. It is very convenient that when you send an SMS, the program asks you to send the SMS now or postpone it. Thanks to the author for the program.

SMS is a convenient and useful thing. Without them it’s like without hands. But do you always send short messages on time? Have you ever, in a hurry, confused the recipients, or, even worse, completely forgotten about the need to send? The Delayd app aims to solve this problem.

The startup Tinyyo Limited has developed a messaging service that allows you to set the sending time for SMS messages and publications in in social networks. The main feature of the program is the ability to pre-set the time for sending regular SMS or multimedia messages with photos and videos to contacts in address book. The user sets the time and date of sending, the text of the message, and selects one or more recipients. It is possible to edit scheduled messages.

As a result, you don’t have to worry about forgetting to wish a friend or relative a happy birthday if you configure Delayd in advance to send SMS greetings on specific dates. Did you find that you've run out of milk and your missus is at an important meeting that ends at seven? Instruct Delayd that the message “Honey, don’t forget to buy milk” should be sent after seven o’clock. The SMS will not distract her from her work and will arrive just in time.

In the same way, you can wake up a friend who asked for this with your SMS or distribute congratulations in advance before the holiday. There can be many reasons, but there is only one solution – Delayd.

Messages can be divided into groups: birthdays, anniversaries and social group. Apparently, they meant generally accepted holidays and some absolutely everyday nuances. You can also specify whether the offer should remind you to send a message, and whether the newsletter should be sent on some cyclical basis (every day, week, month, year).

The application continues to work even after reboot iPhone. All data is stored on the service, so scheduled messages will be sent even if the smartphone’s battery is completely drained.

Overall, the idea behind the app is very interesting, although not innovative. The interface is simple and visually very pleasing. Main disadvantage service is that Russia is not yet on the list of countries in which Delayd operates. It is supported in the USA, UK, Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Brunei, Canada, China, Gambia, India, Israel, Pakistan, South Africa. But the developers promise to regularly expand the list of regions, so Russian users should in any case download the application to immediately find out about the release of the corresponding update.

Delayd is free and offers 50 free SMS. Messages over the limit are charged separately: $0.99 for 50 messages, $1.99 for 100 messages, $2.99 ​​for 250 SMS and $3.99 for 500 SMS.

In this short instructions I will explain how to send delayed emails to operating system iOS. But why do you need delayed emails? There are many options:

  • You need to congratulate someone on a certain day and you don’t rely on your memory. Write a letter today - it will be sent as scheduled.
  • You can write a letter to your future self. For what? Just for fun...
  • You decide to process your mail on Saturday, but you need your business letter to arrive on Monday, during business hours...

Unfortunately, standard mail client does not know how to send letters at exactly the appointed time. Therefore, we will use an alternative option.

Download Spark from Readdle. The application is absolutely free and is an advanced email client. After installation you need to configure mail account in Spark.

Then, when writing letters, click on the icon in the lower right corner.

The application offers several standard time options, but you can set any date and time.

Overview of the functionality of the Scheduled application on iPhone

The Scheduled application works quite transparently. First, select the contact who should receive the messages, then enter the text of the message and indicate the time and date when it should be sent. What happens next? On the day and time you specify, the Scheduled application will display your iPhone reminder about the scheduled sending of a message. The text can be sent by any of the supported Scheduled applications, it will already be copied from the corresponding field - the default “Apple” Messages, Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Telegram, Twitter, Mail (for sending a message by email) and Phone (you can call the contact to send the desired message in words).

The Scheduled app on iPhone does an excellent job of reminding you right time about the need to send messages. We receive a notification, select the application through which we want to provide information, and Scheduled independently fills in the required fields. Apart from the apps mentioned above, you can also use Skype, WeChat, Slack and even LinkedIn.

The application has the ability to configure the recurrence of messages - for example, once and for all you can solve the problem with congratulations on the birthdays of friends by indicating in Scheduled that the event repeats every year. True, the text will be the same. Interestingly, the application can import birthdays from the calendar if you have already entered them there. In this case, the procedure will take a matter of seconds.

The Scheduled application has a noticeable drawback - it is not yet possible to configure automatic sending of messages, but the developers claim that they are already working on expanding the functionality. Apple is often skeptical of apps that can automatically send messages.

IN free version Scheduled you can schedule only three messages. Frankly not enough. Another disadvantage of the application is that after the first launch it is difficult to find the option to upgrade to the premium version through in-app purchases; you have to go into App Store. Setting the date in the application could also be implemented more conveniently - in the form of a familiar calendar, rather than a selection wheel.

Verdict

Small, but useful application on iPhone, which will help you work with messages and communicate more effectively. It integrates well with contacts, supports almost any method of sending messages, including popular instant messengers like WhatsApp and Telegram, and also offers the ability to set up repeatable events. Alas, Scheduled does not automatically send messages, but the owner does not like this functionality iOS platforms, Apple. Overall, Scheduled on iPhone is quite convenient application for working with messages, for many it can be an indispensable utility. We recommend it to everyone who often sends a lot of messages from a smartphone in different applications.
