This feature worked after I upgraded to iOS 18...today (2 days later), it's gone. I've tried testing it on multiple recipients (iPhone and Android users) and myself. Additionally, I've restarted the phone to no success. The ability to schedule texts was one of the key features that kept me on Android for years...please fix this ASAP

I've turned off all focus settings still no send later option except for the one Iphone contact I have thats always had the options since this update just all my other contacts don't have the option so far this only works between iphone and iphone it will not work with iPhone to Android or an older flip phone. The only thing I've not tried is factory reseting the device I'm on iPhone 14 with ios 18.

you are a truly awesome person hadn't thought to contact support directly. and you are 100% that we are comprehending that "Any Device" means just that any device that has cell or texting services is what is supposed to be supported just like it is on android. on android you can schedule messages no issues doesn't matter if they're on a nokia phone from the early 2000s or if they're on a iphone just works. after this ordeal because i only have one or two friends with iphone i am switching back to androids.
