WhatsApp Tests Message Reminders as Beta Reaches iOS

Access is limited to test builds with general availability still unannounced.

Overview

  • In iOS beta version 25.25.74, users can choose "Erinnern" from a message's context menu to set a reminder.
  • Preset intervals include two hours, eight hours, or one day, with an option to pick a custom time.
  • When the timer expires, a push notification with a bell icon links directly to the marked message and can show the message content, profile photo, and a media preview.
  • The tool also appears in current Android beta builds, reflecting a staggered rollout under active testing.
  • Merkur reports WhatsApp processes reminder data locally on the device, though the company has not provided a timeline for a wider release.
