Ooops. Wrong link. Here's the correct link to the example I just provided.

Note that this open-source messaging app can not only schedule messages,
but it can text from any device - which is something the Apple people think
only they have - but in reality - theirs only works inside the walled
garden.

In summary, it's great that the primitive iOS messaging can finally
schedule messages (for those who use that feature - as I do often).

However... 

Like most things Apple, it doesn't actually work in the real world.
         (It only works inside the walled garden.)
