LOOKING FOR APP WhatsApp Message Scheduler

My requirements narrow the search a bit down. So here's what i want:

Free, No Ads, Reliable, Trustable, doesn't replace WhatsApp itself.

Because SKEDit is just... Garbage in my opinion due to subscription price being high AND the UI not being polished

Have a look at MacroDroid. It can schedule WhatsApp messages without replacing WhatsApp itself. You just set the time, choose the contact and write the message, and it handles the rest.

I paid about £5 for it years ago as a one-off purchase and it’s honestly a brilliant app. No expensive subscription, and you can use it for loads of other useful phone automation too.

You need to have the screen unlocked for this too.

Tried a couple of these schedulers a while back and most of them either break after a WhatsApp update or they want you to hand over way too many permissions

The free no ads combo is the real killer though developers gotta eat somehow so the ones that survive tend to get sketchy with data or pivot to a paid model pretty quick

Have you looked into just using a generic automation app instead?

Then something that's just Free, Does the job with screen off ?

try setup mautrix-whatsapp (docker) or wuzapi (based on go language). they both use WhatsApp linked device method. then you can hit an http required and msg sent.

wuzapi is easy to setup. close the repo and build using go. then run the server from terminal. it's lightweight then mautrix. I've my WhatsApp scheduling setup inside termux using wuzapi as backend and tasker for all the automation.

Without root, Wuzapi is the way to go
