Implement send-later (scheduled send)

[philogit]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Google Messages on Android provides a method for scheduling messages to be sent at a later time. This is not currently available on the desktop app.

Describe the solution you'd like Implement the send-later feature in the desktop app as described in Google Help. (https://support.google.com/messages/answer/10456318)

Describe alternatives you've considered The user may continue to schedule messages using the Android app, but this is less convenient for desktop users.

Additional context

Steps on how to create a scheduled message using the Android app and the expected behavior when opening a scheduled message (taken from Google Help):

• Open the Messages app.
• Open a conversation.
• Enter your message.
• Touch and hold Send.
• Choose from the suggestions. 
  • Optional: If you choose your own date and time, a calendar opens. After you pick a date, a clock opens so you can pick a time. Tap Next.
• Tap Send.

Behavior when opening a scheduled message:

• If you open a conversation with a scheduled message, there will be a “Scheduled message” notification.

Ah, it looks like it isn't available. Do you aim to limit the feature set to what's found in the web app?

Complex features like this I usually defer to the web app for implementation. I am sure something could be approximated but it would be unreliable and not a good experience.
