I use the Google Messages app and I’m aiming for something like this:

  1. I add a custom field called Timezone to my contacts and put in GMT+9 or whatever (I have a friend who’s moving to Japan)
  2. This theoretical app scans for the time zone field for each member of a chat
  3. The app draws over Messages, displaying the time for every time zone it finds in the members of the chat

Does something like this exist? I haven’t had luck finding anything.

    I haven’t seen it. I just have a clock widget on my home screen telling me their time. I use ‘simple world clock widget’ pending on your launcher you can make it tiny.

    What i would like to see is a scheduler in a messenger so I can send them a message at more ideal times.

      Do you mean scheduling messages to be send later? Signal and telegram have it.

      Hold the send button and select a time. Easy to use but hard to find.

        As somebody who communicates globally. I do this all the time I signal. I don’t want to wake anybody up.
