iPhone users can now set reminders for important WhatsApp messages. The feature helps track work updates, personal commitments and follow-ups without relying on memory.

Open the WhatsApp conversation containing the message. Long-press the message, tap 'More…' and select 'Remind Me'.

Choose from 2 hours, 8 hours or 24 hours. You can also select a custom date and time for the reminder.

A small bell icon appears on the message once the reminder is set. WhatsApp sends a notification when the scheduled reminder is due.

No longer need an alert? Long-press the message and tap 'More…'. Select 'Cancel Reminder' to remove it. The feature is available in WhatsApp version 25.25.74 for iPhone.
