For all Remind users. 

Use our scheduling feature to plan Remind messages days, weeks, or months in advance. Scheduling can only be used for announcements. Messages are scheduled based on the time zone you've set for your computer or cell phone instead of the time you see on your computer or phone clock. As a result, if you plan to travel, you'll need to update your time zone before you schedule your message to ensure we deliver your message at the right time. View, edit, or delete a scheduled announcement at any time.

You cannot schedule role-based messages via the iOS or Android app.
