One of the new features coming to Android Messages will help those who want to have better control over when their messages are sent. Similar to what Google offers in Gmail, the Android Messages app will support scheduled text messages. All you have to do is press and hold on the send button with the text message you plan to schedule, and then you'll get the option to select a date and time to send your text.
The feature will be available for devices running on Android 7 or later. But Google hasn't specified when it will be available. When it does roll out, Google requires that you have the latest version of the Messages app to work.
Some of the other new features we've written about include Password Checkup for Android, Google Assistant locked screen support, new Android TalkBack capabilities, Android Auto updates, and Dark Mode for Google Maps.
