It's late at night, and you have a random thought that you want to text someone, but you don't want to wake them. But you also don't want to forget to send it tomorrow. You can use the 'Send Later' text feature.
This only works iPhone to iPhone, though. Sorry if you need to send the text to someone who doesn't have an iPhone.

Type what you want to say in the text.

Click on the '+' sign on the left side of the screen.

Choose 'Send Later' on the choices that appear.

Pick the date and time you want the text to be sent and click the up arrow.

Now it shows the date and time you scheduled it to send.
If you made an error and need to change the date and/or time:

You click the 'Edit' option.

Choose if you need to edit the time/date or delete the message.
This feature has been handy when I have woken up at 2 a.m. and needed to send a text to someone. Luckily, it has always been with someone who has an iPhone!
