# Text Message-Scheduling Apps The Scheduled App Sends Stores Text Drafts and Sends Reminders By Joey Haar | Published 2017-03-30 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scheduled-app References: [techcrunch](https://techcrunch.com/2017/03/30/scheduled-is-a-new-app-that-lets-you-schedule-your-text-messages/?ncid=rss) & [itunes.apple](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/scheduled-a-reminder-for-your-messenger/id1145815975) The Scheduled app addresses one of the unforeseen shortcomings of text messaging as a communications medium. Though the obvious benefit of text messaging is that it allows people to send out smaller exchanges without having to connect with someone immediately via a call, no common [text messaging apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tempstr) have functionality that allows for storing messages. With the Scheduled app, users can store drafts like on other services such as [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sociallater), and they can schedule reminders to send those drafts in the future. While Scheduled isn't capable of automatically sending pre-written texts, it lets users [schedule push notifications](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cnotify) so that they can send the messages manually at the desired time. This lack of automated sending is partly a due to a technical barrier, but it also comes from Scheduled's creators' resistance to the idea of people sending out mass, spammy texts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 25% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Text Message-scheduling Apps:** Developing text message-scheduling apps can disrupt the way people communicate and make it more convenient to send messages at specific times. - **Automated Text Sending:** Creating automated text sending functionality in messaging apps can revolutionize the way people schedule and send messages, making it more efficient and time-saving. - **Spam Detection Technology:** Integrating advanced spam detection technology in text messaging apps can eliminate the risk of mass, spammy texts and ensure a better user experience. ### Who This Affects Most - **Mobile App Development:** The mobile app development industry can leverage the need for text message-scheduling apps by creating innovative apps that offer scheduling and automation features. - **Communication Services:** Communication service providers can incorporate automated text sending functionality in their messaging platforms to offer a more convenient and streamlined messaging experience to users. - **Data Security and Privacy:** The data security and privacy industry can contribute by developing advanced spam detection technology for messaging apps to protect users from unwanted spam and enhance their privacy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Message Scheduling Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/send-it-later.md) - [Smart Scheduling Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/texttoevent.md) - [Future Message Reminders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hifutureself.md) - [Scheduled Message Vaults](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postdatame.md) - [Smart SMS Organizing Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartsms-organizer.md) - [Chat-Style To-Do Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qept-app.md) - [Messenger Scheduling Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calendry.md) - [AI-Powered Texting Assistant Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rply-mac-app.md) - [Advanced Reminder Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/datealarm.md)
