Introduction
WhatsApp Messenger has introduced a new feature that lets you schedule reminders for calls, so you never miss an important conversation. This is especially useful for coordinating meetings, interview calls, or callback requests with friends, family, or colleagues.
📅 What Is the Call Reminder Feature?
This feature allows you to set a reminder directly within WhatsApp for a future call time. Once scheduled, whatsapp will notify you at the right moment — just like a calendar alert.
📲 How to Schedule a Call Reminder on WhatsApp
Follow these simple steps:
Open a Chat
Open the whatsapp chat with the person you want to call.
Tap the + (Attachment) Icon
On Android or iPhone, tap the “+” icon near the message box.
Choose “Reminder”
Select the new “Reminder” or “Call Reminder” option in the menu.
Set Date & Time
Pick the date and time when you want to be reminded about the call.
Add a Note (Optional)
You can add a short note like “Zoom call with client” or “Mom’s birthday call”.
Save the Reminder
Tap Save — whatsapp will now notify you at the scheduled time.
🔔 What You’ll See When the Reminder Pops Up
When the scheduled time arrives, whatsapp will send you a notification with:
✅ The reminder message you set
✅ A Call button (tap to dial instantly)
✅ Option to snooze or reschedule the reminder
📆 Why This Feature Is Useful
Here’s how call reminders can help:
- 🔹 Never Forget Important Calls – Set reminders for appointments, interviews, or family calls.
- 🔹 Better Planning – Coordinate schedules without switching to third‑party apps.
- 🔹 Integrated Alerts – whatsapp keeps everything in a place you already use daily.
🧠 Notes to Remember
- This feature is rolling out gradually, so you might need to update whatsapp to the latest version.
- Reminders are stored locally on your device — if you delete the app or chat without backing up, scheduled reminders may be lost.
- Works for both 1‑on‑1 chats and group reminders for planned group calls.
