Your WhatsApp chat: one more place to aim
At first the application allowed you to send messages to yourself but you had to find tricks for it. Whether it was creating a group and removing members, saving yourself as a contact… Now it’s no longer necessary.
There are people who prefer an agenda, others a piece of paper or even their own hand. That is why WhatsApp has listened to its users and has activated this function. Anyone who wants to send a message has nothing more to do than follow these simple steps:
- Open the app WhatsApp on mobile.
- Click open a new chat.
- The first contact that will appear to us will be our name, with the profile photo and at the end «(you)«.
- Simply click on it and start writing.
The differences that this chat has with respect to the rest are obvious. You will not be able to make calls, video calls or block yourself. Otherwise, it’s just like other people’s chats. You can write, send photos, gifs, stickers, files, links… And even activate temporary messages to clean up the chat so that irrelevant things don’t accumulate.
