iMessage Send Later and Text Effects Not Showing

iPhone Q&A
1

Hi bro, I’m using iPhone 13. Recently I upgraded phone to iOS 18, and found two features are missing in iMessage which is part of iOS update.

  1. I don’t have option to “send later”.(scheduled message)
  2. I also don’t have “text effect” feature in iMessage. I’m aware that to use this feature sender and recipient should both have iOS 18 on their device. Me and my friend both have iPhone 13 running on iOS 18.
    Please let me know if these features are device or country specific or a bug.

hello bro, I have updated to iOS 18.1 beta on both my devices. unable to check for both the features whether its available on iOS 18 or not.

But give just two three weeks time. if the feature is not available right now, then its possible to see it in iOS 18.1. some features are limited to iOS 18.1.
