    Apparently this only works if all the message recipients have an iPhone using iMessage, otherwise it's not available and SMS is indicated in the text box.

    Thanks so much for another really useful tutorial.
    Thanks also for the comment that this only work if the recipient have an iPhone using iMessage. The Send Later option is missing for recipients without it.

    Grest Info. This is a great feature, But I have noticed that when you share info from an app (for examine the results in a Wordle) the plus sign is grayed out. Is there another way to delay this type of message?

    Tom: Not sure why it is grayed out for you there. Are you sure you are sending to someone with iMessages?

    Tom: I'm not seeing any problem when sharing from other apps, like for instance Safari. It just ends up in Messages like any other message. It appears to be the same as if I copy and pasted the link manually, for instance. Not sure what you are doing here. Are you just on a web page and then click the Share button and then Message? Or are you doing something else?

    I am actually send the results from the NYT puzzles page. I also tried to share page from safari and the plus was still grayed out. Looks like this is one for apple support. Thanks

    I thought I remembered from an earlier communication from Apple that they were fixing this Cross message problem so that you could send to someone with an android device. Am II thought I remembered from an earlier communication from Apple that they were fixing this Cross message problem so that you could send to someone with an android device. Am I correct or am I mistaken?

    Jim: I think I heard the same thing. Apple usually doesn't formally announce such things, especially for small features, so I don't think there is anything official.
