Android mobile phones come with their default SMS app, but it can be very useful in cases like scheduling a text message or sending an SMS with an urgent mark. The app’s text message scheduling feature has been available for some time. However, not many users are aware that they can also send an urgent text message so that the recipient reads it first. Additionally, you can include a subject line if you’re writing a formal message.
