Move delayed messages up so you can start typing a new message
The delayed send feature is excellent! One thing that could make it even better is if the delayed messages were moved up into the thread (where the sent messages are) so that you could start typing the next message. The timer could go to the left of each delayed message. This would probably also leave room in the UI for a "send now" button, as suggested elsewhere.
If you want to edit the delayed sending, you can just tap the cancel button. The delayed text gets moved into the text box for editing. When that message is sent, the stuff you'd started to type is placed back into the text box.

Hands down agree. I really like the time delay, has saved me a number of times, BUT it's also kind of a waste of a feature when you can't keep typing the next message or approve/send the message ahead of time.
What I would like to see...One or both:
+Delayed message pops into the body, where a user can continue to type next message.
+Option to press the message to instantly send it, whether delayed in body or message box (i.e. you've reviewed, it looks good, click, and send).This allows someone to have normal conversations without having to wait however many seconds in between every message. Otherwise...why not just make the habit of checking the message before sending?

I agree. If I forget and start typing the next message, the first word of the new message will send at the end of the first message.

Agreed, I'd love to be able to send the next message while the delayed one is in limbo

Also, I'd like a button to send without waiting if I've proofread it already. Not sure if this will undermine the delay, but it seems useful.

also, there seems to be a bug. my text bubbles are a dark blue with white inside. when typing in an existing convo, they have black text (hard to read). when typing from a new window, they appear grey with black text (the default style).
