How to set WhatsApp reminders

Choose when your coach should message you. Keep reminders useful by fitting them around your normal day.

Before you start

• Your WhatsApp coach linked first. Here's how.
• A rough idea of when in your day a message would actually help.

Step by step

1. In the app, open WhatsApp AI Chat from the home grid.
2. Tap Reminders.
3. Turn on Allow WhatsApp reminders. Nothing is sent until this is on.
4. Pick a reminder: Morning summary (today's plan), Recovery check-in, or Planned-session reminder.
5. Set the time you want it.
6. Pick the days you want it.
7. For your own reminder, tap New message.
8. Type what you want your coach to say or ask you.
9. Choose One time or Recurring.
10. Tap Save.

Where it goes wrong

• Reminders stop arriving. During beta, messages can pause after 24 hours without a reply from you. Send any message to your coach to start them again.
• Too many reminders. Start with one, such as the morning summary. Add more only if you find yourself wanting them.
• Times that clash with your day. A 6am reminder on your lie-in day just gets ignored. Pick days as well as times.
• Forgetting to turn the main switch on. If Allow WhatsApp reminders is off, nothing is sent, however many reminders you set up.

Check it worked

• Allow WhatsApp reminders is on.
• Each reminder shows the right time and days.
• Your first reminder arrives when expected.
