How to Schedule WhatsApp Messages with WhatsClaw
Three steps. Takes under 2 minutes to set up your first scheduled message.
Install WhatsClaw
Download free from Google Play. Grant Accessibility Service permission — this is what lets WhatsClaw automatically open WhatsApp and send your message.
Create Your Schedule
Tap "Schedule New", write your message, pick your contacts (individual, group, or a CSV list), then set the exact date and time to send.
Let WhatsClaw Handle It
That's it. WhatsClaw runs silently in the background. At the scheduled time it opens WhatsApp, types and sends your message — even if your screen is off.
Why WhatsClaw is the Best WhatsApp Scheduler
Every feature you need to schedule messages like a professional — all free.
Send to a single contact, a WhatsApp group, or import thousands from a CSV file.
Use {name}, {city}, {order_id} placeholders — WhatsClaw fills in each recipient's details automatically.
Set birthday messages, daily reminders, weekly reports or custom recurring patterns.
Schedule any media — product catalogues, invoices, audio messages, stickers.
No Meta verification, no server, no per-message fee. Regular WhatsApp on any Android phone.
If your phone was off at send time, WhatsClaw queues and retries. You never silently miss a scheduled message.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I schedule WhatsApp messages on Android without root?
Yes. WhatsClaw schedules and auto-sends WhatsApp messages on any Android 8.0+ device without root access. It uses Android's official Accessibility Service to interact with the WhatsApp app on your behalf.
Does WhatsApp have a built-in message scheduler?
No. WhatsApp does not have a native message scheduler. WhatsApp's "Remind me" feature only sends you a notification — it does not send the message for you. WhatsClaw fills this gap and actually sends the message at the time you choose.
Will my phone need to be on for scheduled messages to send?
Yes, your phone needs to be on and connected to the internet at the scheduled send time, with WhatsClaw's background service running. WhatsClaw shows a persistent notification to prevent Android from killing the service. If the phone is off, WhatsClaw queues the message and retries.
Can I schedule a WhatsApp message to multiple contacts?
Yes. You can schedule one message to dozens or thousands of contacts at the same time. Import contacts from a CSV file or use WhatsApp's contact picker. Each message is sent individually (not as a group message), and you can personalise each with the recipient's name.
Is scheduling WhatsApp messages safe? Will I get banned?
WhatsClaw uses Android's official Accessibility Service — the same mechanism used by password managers and accessibility tools. It does not use unofficial WhatsApp APIs or inject code. For bulk scheduled sends, WhatsClaw adds random human-like delays between messages to minimise ban risk.
