Message Yourself on Whatsapp: The much awaited Whatsapp feature Message Yourself – is now rolling out to users. The Meta-owned instant messaging giant introduced the feature for some users earlier this month and now it is available for all. With his new feature you can now send notes, reminders and shopping lists yourself on WhatsApp. It is available to both Android and iPhone users.
Before the Message Yourself feature, WhatsApp users relied on a workaround to message themselves on the platform. The method included using the URL wa.me/ followed by the ten-digit number to send messages, photos and videos to themselves.

It’s as simple as this
The new feature allows them to simply start a chat with their number from the contact list. Users will see their contact card as ‘Message Yourself’ at the top of the list.
All users can share with this feature. Users will be able to send photos, audios, videos along with messages to themselves using the feature. They will also be able to share documents directly from their smartphones.
This chat will only be visible to you and can also only be accessed by you. Nobody else on WhatsApp will be able to see the content that you share on the chat.
How It Works:
To enable the feature, users must update the WhatsApp app on their smartphone. To do so, go to Google Play Store/Apple App Store and install the latest version of the app. Once done, follow the following steps:
– Open WhatsApp on your smartphone
– Tap on the new chat button – available on top right corner on iPhone and bottom on Android phones
– Look for the contact card with your mobile number as ‘Message Yourself’
– Now click on the contact and start messaging yourself
Meta said the feature is rolling out in stages and will soon be available for all.
In future the social network will soon allow users to upload voice notes as their Status Update on WhatsApp.
