How to set a reminder
in Telegram.
Telegram has a simple built-in reminder in Saved Messages. For repeating reminders, appointments and voice, a reminder bot does more. Here are both, step by step.
- Free, no card needed
- No sign-up: just tap Start

Way 1The built-in reminder in Saved Messages
Telegram can send you a message at a chosen time. It works only in Saved Messages, your private chat with yourself.
- Open Saved Messages.
- Type what you want to be reminded about.
- On a phone, press and hold the Send button; on a computer, right-click it.
- Choose Set a reminder, pick the date and time, and confirm.
At that moment Telegram sends the message to Saved Messages with a notification. It is quick for a single reminder, but you pick every date and time by hand, and there is no list of upcoming reminders apart from the scheduled messages in that chat.
Way 2: a reminder bot
A bot such as Skedix reads what you write and sets the reminder itself. That helps when:
- you want to write naturally: “tomorrow morning call the bank”, “Friday at 3 dentist”;
- the reminder repeats: “every weekday at 8 drink water”;
- it’s an appointment and you want a heads-up an hour before;
- you’d rather send a voice message than type;
- you want to ask “what do I have tomorrow?” or see everything in a calendar on the web.
