In the app Lichess Beta, is there no possibility to premove in correspondence game? In the old app there was this feature.

You want to PREMOVE in 1day/move games??Are you mad?
I meant conditional move. Yes I am that "mad". Sometimes the next move of your opponent is so obvious that you already know what you will do next. So it could be planned, even a few moves ahead. It is possible at lichess.org playing in the browser, but not in the Lichess Beta App.

What he asked is reasonable, and transforming a request in ab hominem attack just because you don't like the feature doesn't seem constructive to me.
Premove is speeding up the game, why not?
Example: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 - now white premoves 4.Nxd4, meaning: if black captures 3...cxd4, white will recapture. If black does not move this, then 4.Nxd4 wont be executed (you can not capture your own pieces).
Guys, as @stefantelefan said, in correspondence games its not the "unconditional premove do it at all cost if legal" thing.
It is conditional. You enter the move by the opponent as well, and only if that move gets played, your next move is executed. And you can do this for more than one move, and potentially for several different responses by your opponent.
Comes handy if you clearly know what you're doing and trust in your analysis. This was already used when this was still played with postcards, which saved lots of time and money.

The special pre-printed cards we were using on the only occasion when I tried correspondence chess (in the mid 80's) even had a section for that, something like "To your move ... I'l reply with ...". And the the games start was "premoved" by default: white proposed few (three?) opening variations out of an official list by code and if black accepted one of them, the game started from that point.
IIUC there is one important difference, though: in the "paper correspondence" chess, a player could see the opponent's "premove" (or the whole sequence) in advance and could use this information in thinking about his/her move. This made the option usable only for "obvious" continuations. If the premove sequence is hidden from you in online correspondence, it can be used also when I don't want the opponent to know what my reply would be.
what?
you can do premove in correspondence

You do the premove of capturing (for example) and when he will play you will go and see the capture is already moved as premove if not means there is a piece of yours, or because he did check or checkmate, or because the piece would capture was captured by another piece, etc and etc

What I meant was conditional moves really, a matter of naming, sorry for confusing, cannot change the topic of the thread now.
Premove refers one move ahead, I guess. I looked for the feature allowing to plan and move automatically more than one move ahead, also to plan even a few scenarions of automatic moves in correspondence. I cannot see it in the current app Beta Lichess. The sensibility and attractiveness of this feature is proven by the fact it already exists in stationary/browser gaming, and that it was in the previous Lichess app - but not in the current Lichess Beta app (or is it somehow hidden?).
I "upgraded" recently from the previous app to the new, the only available now, Lichess Beta, because the previous some bugs became a bit annoying. But the new one is missing a few functional details available then, including CONDITIONAL moves. Generally I like the old app better, except the bugs. I know I could use the browser or use the old app to use this particular functionality, but that is not the point for newer app, to have less features, than the old one, I think.
Thank you for all the answers so far.
