Talking to yourself can be quite useful, especially if we do it within an instant messaging app. And from now on WhatsApp will allow just this, having a chat with yourself, and it is much more useful than you might think.
Imagine this “chat with yourself” as a kind of warehouse, an archive to keep important messages, photos, audio messages, reminders and shopping lists, all within an application that is probably among the apps you use the most every day. .
This new feature is actually being tested on a limited basis since October by some lucky WhatsApp Beta users. But now it will finally reach all of the approximately 2 billion users in the world.
To use “Send a message to yourself” you need to enter the section of creating a new WhatsApp chat, and you will see your own phone number above all your contact list. There you can send messages, write down ideas, send files and also pin or star the messages you want, just like in any chat with another person or group.

There used to be a way to message yourself, but it involved creating a group and adding yourself as the only member. Now, this is an official solution. And yes, I knowIt is that Telegram did before, it’s great, but now more people will be able to use this feature on WhatsApp as well.
The ability to send messages to yourself (officially called “Message Yourself”) will come to all WhatsApp users around the world from now on and in the coming weeks.
