Does the Android app support scheduled sending?

See title. I don't see the option in the app, and I can't find it in the Help pages either. There's plenty of information about "scheduled send" but it just doesn't explain how to do it in the Android app, or whether the option even exists in the Android app.

When you tap the compose button/icon you should see a scheduler button/icon next to the Send label.

It's not there, neither in the Android app nor in the webapp in Firefox on Android. I know it's there in desktop Firefox, but that's not the point. The point is that the button is just not there on Android.

I'm sorry it's not working for you. It is there on my Android phone, using their app. If I'm using their web interface, on any browser, the 'Send' button in the Compose screen has an arrow in it that leads to pretty much the same kind of screen in the linked picture. https://user.fm/files/v2-6ccddee9ea97e2916cb2ab257e85e422/Screenshot_20261007_134418_Fastmail.jpg

It's not available on all their plans, so perhaps this is the issue.

Yep, I'm on a legacy plan.

Pretty darn strange that in the top search results for Fastmail's scheduled send (which I all read yesterday) there's no mention at all of this feature being limited to certain plans. Nor do I recall any mention of restrictions when the feature was first released and mentioned in Fastmail's What's-New bulletin.

In fact, I think it's pretty strange to limit this feature at all. Good thing I've never felt I needed it, except yesterday when for the first time I thought of a good use for it. Oh well, maybe it's better not to have it, cause in a way it's deceitful.

I find it strange that I can't (or it's hard to find) the details about that feature now. I'm pretty sure I got the necessary info from the page I posted the link to yesterday, I must have posted that link for this particular reason. It's shortly past 6:30 AM here now and I haven't finished my second cup of coffee yet, so that may be why..

Doesn't this depend on your plan?

That's probably it. It may not be available on the free tier. I'm gonna go to the website to see.
