There are very few apps available in the Google Play Store that offers a WhatsApp message scheduling feature, and most of them are pretty bad. Out of all, SQEDit is the only one who does excellent work for the purpose.

SQEDit not only allows you to schedule WhatsApp messages, but also schedule the emails, normal texts, Facebook posts, and calls. This app is also straightforward to set up and use among all the apps available.
