Beta feature? The feature only exists in Chrome Canary, the mobile beta version of Google Chrome that often has new features in development. It will likely work something like a file download manager, saving you the hassle of having to keep track of downloads yourself.

How to use: If you have Chrome Canary, you can enable it by opening the browser on your phone and going to chrome://flags , searching for "enable download later", tap Enable in the dropdown menu, and restart Canary.

Once you restart and try to download a file, you will be asked to choose when the download will occur. You can tap Now, Over Wi-Fi, or Choose date and time. If you choose the New date and time option and then tap Download, you will be able to set a time.
