How to get started

Install WAPlus Ultra on Android, then set up the feature you need. Your installed messenger remains part of the workflow.

  1. 1.

    Choose the person and date

    Add the birthday or anniversary to the contact memory or create a scheduled message for the date. Confirm the number and the reminder time on your phone.

  2. 2.

    Write a personal wish

    Prepare the message while you have time to make it thoughtful. Use a saved template as a starting point, then replace placeholders and add a detail about the person.

  3. 3.

    Send when the reminder appears

    Keep the phone on and allow the reminder to run. Open the due notification and complete the assisted send in your installed WhatsApp app. Review recurring event dates each year.

A wish you can make your own

Copy a starting point, replace every bracketed detail, and check the final message before sending.

Birthday

Happy birthday, [name]! Hope today brings you plenty of [something they enjoy]. Wishing you a wonderful year ahead.

Anniversary

Happy anniversary, [names]! Wishing you another lovely year together. Hope you have something special planned for today.

What helps the birthday reminder appear?

WAPlus asks Android to show a local reminder. Your phone settings and the apps involved still affect when you see it and can send.

Notifications
Allow WAPlus notifications so the due reminder can appear. On Android 13 and later, this is a runtime permission.
Exact alarms and battery settings
Android may require exact-alarm access for a precise reminder. Device battery restrictions and a powered-off phone can delay or prevent it.
Optional contact picker
Contact access helps when choosing an existing person. Confirm the recipient and complete the final send in WhatsApp.

Midnight delivery still needs you

An assisted birthday schedule does not silently send while you sleep or while your phone is off. You must see the reminder, open WhatsApp, and tap Send. Use an ordinary advance reminder when you cannot be available at the intended time.

Questions before you install

Can WhatsApp birthday messages send automatically at midnight?

WAPlus Ultra uses assisted sending: it prepares the message and reminds you at the selected time, then you tap Send in WhatsApp. It does not promise unattended midnight delivery.

Can I remember birthdays and anniversaries each year?

WAPlus includes annual-event reminders using contact-memory birthdays and anniversaries. Review the date, recipient, wording, and reminder settings before relying on the next event.

Will it send when my Android phone is off?

No. The phone must be on and Android must allow the reminder to run. The final message also needs your action in WhatsApp and a working connection.
