WhatsApp Rolls Out Message-Linked Reminders on iPhone, Tests Android Beta

Users can long‑press any message to schedule an alert that resurfaces the original text or media as a device notification.

Overview

  • The feature is rolling out gradually to iPhone users with WhatsApp for iOS version 25.25.74, and updating the app is required to access it.
  • Reminders are created from a message via a long press and a “reminder/recordatorio” option with quick picks like 2 or 8 hours or a custom date and time.
  • Notifications include the original message content, attachments and the chat reference so users can jump back to the conversation.
  • Marked messages display a bell icon and the reminder is removed automatically after it triggers to reduce clutter.
  • Android support is currently in testing in beta version 2.25.21.14, with broader availability not yet announced.
