WhatsApp: Send message to yourself

Previous rumors have already revealed that WhatsApp was working on an option to send messages to yourself. It sounds sadder than it actually is. Indeed, it can be very useful. For example, to share a link with yourself that you want to view again later. You can also send a reminder or task to yourself so that you do not forget something, or, for example, make a shopping list. You can easily find messages that you send yourself in the chat overview.

Another handy feature is that you can also share something between different devices in this way. For example, you can also see messages that you send to yourself on your smartphone in WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp Desktop and vice versa. This way you also have your messages on your computer.

To send yourself a message, you can start composing a message as you always do. To do this, press the text button, after which you will see your contacts. You will then see the option to send yourself a message at the top of the screen.

The function has been extensively tested recently, from now on it will be available to everyone. However, it may take a while before it can be used with you.
