Can you schedule a text on an iPhone? Yes! But you'll need to use the Shortcuts app. This can be a little intimidating, but it turns out it's pretty easy! Scheduling texts on your iPhone is super handy if you want to send reminders on specific days, or even when you're performing certain actions, like leaving the house, or going to sleep.

Now, here's how to schedule a text on your iPhone:
1. To schedule a text, first you'll want to open your Shortcuts app.
2. At the bottom of the screen, tap the icon that says Automation.
3. Tap the Add icon. If you don't see the Add icon or have any existing automations, skip to step 4.
4. Tap Create Personal Automation.
5. In the New Automation menu, choose your text message's prompt. In this example, I will use Time of Day, but there are lots of options to choose from.
