Scheduling a WhatsApp message with TikTask is simple: choose who to message, write your text, pick a time, and TikTask sends it from your phone.
This guide is written for non-technical users, so we’ll explain what each step means, not just what to tap.
ℹ️
Goal
Learn how to schedule WhatsApp messages on Android: pick Send Message in TikTask, select recipients, type your message, choose a time and TikTask will send it from your phone.
ℹ️
Before you start
TikTask schedules messages on your device, not on a server. When it’s time to send, TikTask may briefly open WhatsApp to complete the action. That’s normal.
Step-by-step
1
Pick Action
Open TikTask, pick "Send Message" from Quick Actions, then choose WhatsApp.
1.1. Start by choosing Send Message.
1.2. Pick WhatsApp from the picker.
2
Write your message
Type your message. For your first test, keep it short and clear. Example: “Hey, just testing a scheduled message 🙂”.
3
Optional: add an attachment
If you want to send an image or document, attach it here. If you are not sure, skip it for now. Text-only is the easiest first test.
3.1. Click add attachment button.
3.2. Pick the attachment type.
3.3. Attach image to the message.
4
Pick recipients
Select the chat, group, or contact you want to send to. If you message the same people often, you can save them later as a Recipient List.
4.1. Click Add Recipients button.
4.2. Change recipient type if needed.
4.3. WhatsApp recipients added.
5
Choose the schedule time
Pick a time 2–5 minutes from now for your first test. Once you trust it, you can schedule days ahead or set a repeating routine.
5.1. Click Add Schedule Info button.
5.2. Select an option, change it anytime .
5.3. Set it to repeat every 3 hours
6
Save
Tap Save. You are done.
What happens when it’s time to send
When the schedule triggers, TikTask runs on your phone and completes the action. If Android asks for permissions (like Accessibility), it’s just making sure TikTask is allowed to run on time.
Make it reliable (recommended)
If messages run late or do not send, it is usually a phone setting, not your schedule. Do these once:
✅ Enable Accessibility (required)
✅ Disable battery optimizations for TikTask
✅ Enable auto-start / background activity (some phones)
✅ Enable notifications (so you can see alerts)
Quick troubleshooting
- Confirm TikTask Accessibility is enabled
- Confirm TikTask is not battery restricted
- Try scheduling again 2 minutes from now as a test
- If you use Xiaomi, Tecno, or Infinix, follow the brand guide for background settings
💡
Tip
If you message the same people often, create a Recipient List. It saves time and reduces mistakes.
FAQ
Do I need to keep my phone unlocked for the message to send? +
No. TikTask can send your scheduled WhatsApp messages in the background, but you must enable Accessibility and disable battery optimizations for reliability.
Can I schedule recurring WhatsApp messages? +
Yes. TikTask lets you schedule one‑time messages or set up recurring rules directly on your device.
Will TikTask open WhatsApp when it sends the message? +
TikTask may briefly open WhatsApp at the scheduled time to complete the action. This is normal and ensures messages send successfully.
