WhatsApp is currently rolling out the Message Yourself feature for users of iOS and Android. The function, which was once a part of a beta test, is now made accessible to everyone.
You can sort of message yourself using the tool called “Message Yourself.” You can post there just like you would in any other chat because it is a chat that only you can see and access. This can be used to record voice memos, upload documents, save online links, and write essential notes to oneself.
Some users have in the past created groups, then removed other members to effectively establish their own private chat, to get around its absence.
When starting a new chat on WhatsApp, users will see their contact at the top of the contacts list. They can message themselves using the chat feature by tapping that contact to access it.
Although WhatsApp just added the feature to message oneself, some users have been employing a workaround for some time. The “click to talk” function of the app previously allowed you to message yourself. However, the new service eliminates the extra steps users previously had to take in order to self-chat using the wa.me URL.
If users don’t want to hunt for their self-chat messages in their heavily congested conversations list, they can also pin them to the top of the conversation list.
