According to a Для просмотра ссылки Войдиили Зарегистрируйся by Techdows, Google is working on adding a download scheduler for Chrome on Android. The feature will basically let users download files via the browser at a future date and time by giving detailed options right in the download dialog, reducing the need to download a third-party download manager for your smartphone.
Google calls the feature ‘download later’ and for now it also lets users choose to download a file by just using Wi-Fi (when available) and even select the destination folder. There’s even a check box that will save those preferences so they won’t be prompted about it every time they have to download a file.

We gave it a shot as well, but were unsuccessful in activating the new feature.

Also arriving soon, as per the source, will be a ‘Scheduled for later’ section in the downloads page that will show and let users manage pending downloads.
