What SKEDit is
SKEDit is an Android app that schedules WhatsApp messages and WhatsApp Status updates, auto-replies to incoming WhatsApp messages, and sends personalised bulk messages from a CSV contact list. It also schedules Telegram, Messenger and Instagram direct messages and emails, and runs drip campaigns. It is made by SKEDit Software International Limited, Dubai.

How sending works, and what it needs
At the scheduled time SKEDit opens WhatsApp on your phone and sends the message using Android’s accessibility service, the same way a person would tap. Because of this:
- The phone must be on and online at the scheduled time.
- The screen lock can stay on: SKEDit can unlock the phone at the scheduled time with a PIN or password you save in the app (pattern and fingerprint unlock are not supported). Smart Lock, which stays active for 4 hours at a time, or no screen lock also work.
- Battery optimisation must be turned off for SKEDit, and auto-start turned on for SKEDit on Xiaomi, Huawei, OPPO and Vivo phones. Most failed sends come from these two settings. Setup guide.
- Two messages must not be scheduled for the same minute.
- WhatsApp credentials are never stored or accessed. On Android, SKEDit works with the normal WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business app on the phone. The official WhatsApp Business API is used only by SKEDit Business for Web.
