A brand new feature has been rolled out on WhatsApp that will allow you to chat with yourself, essentially enabling the ability to send messages to your own account, in a brand new feature called ‘Message Yourself’.
The new feature lets users send notes, reminders and shopping lists to themselves within the app. Users will see their contact at the top of the contacts list on WhatsApp when they create a new chat and tapping the contact will bring them to a chat screen that they can utilize to send messages to themselves, which makes the workaround process that users have been using to message themselves no longer needed.
The move comes as a likely response to WhatsApp rival Signal, which has it’s own self-messaging feature called ‘Note to Self’, Telegram’s feature ‘Saved Messages’, and community platform Slack has a similar dedicated area called ‘Jot Something Down’.
