  Better than not sending anything by orders of magnitude. Embracing the fact that you’re forgetful and mitigating it is just kinda… mature

    Disagree, but I’m the type who is generally annoyed by these messages.

      Wait, is this talking about fully automated messages or like calendar reminders? I didn’t even realize that the former was an option

    Nah. FaceBook cured me of automated messages a decade+ ago. Be a human, say something real, even if it’s late.

      I mean I do type each one as I normally would to each person, just far ahead of time and then saved.

      I find it akin to those “Don’t open til…” Letters

  My favorite part is when the person doing this dies unexpectedly so all the loved ones keep getting well wishes from beyond the grave

    What about when the recipient dies, so their loved ones get well wishes as if the person was still alive?

    This would only work if their phone was still charged and on

    Scheduling a message (at least, on Android) holds the message on the phone, until the date, then it sends it to the cell network
