What do you mean by SMS delay?

Short message delay means that it takes some time to be received by the other party after the short message is sent. In most cases, this time is very short, but in some special cases, such as network congestion or poor signal, the delay time of SMS will increase. The delay time depends on network speed, operators, cell phone signals and other factors.

Short message delay is not always bad, especially in decision-making and security-critical information communication. Appropriate SMS delay can protect information security and reduce the risk of information leakage. To some extent, SMS delay can also prevent misoperation from causing too fast response, thus affecting the user experience. Of course, if the short message delay time is too long, it will affect the timeliness of information and user experience.

Some mobile phone manufacturers also provide SMS delay function, and users can set the delay time before sending SMS. This function is also particularly important in some important occasions. For example, sending text messages on important occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries can come in handy if you forget them. By setting a certain delay, users can remind themselves or each other of the time in advance. This function is also very practical in daily life.
