Hello gliders, Adding a delay is a required feature for time consuming apps. So here it is! The first draft on how to add delay in your apps > **[Delay - Loading Screen](https://delay-loading.glideapp.io/)** If you want to know how to implement, lemme know! ---

Very useful- how did you do this ? ---

I expect that it’s done by setting a timestamp X seconds in the future, and then using a visibility condition “where now is after timestamp”. At least that’s how I would do it. ---

Makin the app sharable so, everyone can copy it and view the logic! ---

May we have a link for the template? ---

You can click on the app link given in the main topic. Or click below > **[Delay - Loading Screen](https://delay-loading.glideapp.io/)** You can then go ahead and create a copy of it. ---

This will make it not precisely the same delay as required, right? Since now is only updated every X secs or so (I can’t remember the right number). ---

yeah, correct. It updates once every 10 seconds. The effect of that is immediately evident in the demo app. ---

Thus the approx time in seconds in the entry field ---

I sure wish that Glide had a pause function, so that actions could have some delay before the next action is performed… ---

Your app is not working correctly 1. Start button is clickable when no value is entered and makes delay infinite. 2. On a cellphone, when backspace is clicked, it triggers action. 3. Entered Delay time is not equal to the actual delay ---

I made a little sample of how to make an accurate delay… it will block any click until the set time is over: [![Screen Shot 2022-01-23 at 11.04.50 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/e/ee5aeb89aba8440260b19ff60d3c50a54fffe919.jpeg)](https://delay-action-demo.glideapp.io/) > **[Delay Action - DEMO](https://delay-action-demo.glideapp.io/)** > > delay actions by blocking screen for a specific time 😉 ---
