Message yourself, a new feature on WhatsApp where one can message themselves without creating any group or using a second WhatsApp account, was previously introduced in the beta version of WhatsApp. It was a quite handy and useful feature for any users out there. We have good news regarding that, the Message yourself feature has finally started rolling out to stable users. All the users, after updating their application to the latest version, can get access to the feature.
Talking more about the newest feature, it’s an end-to-end encrypted feature which means no one apart from yourself will be able to see the chats, not even WhatsApp. You can use this feature to save important notes, documents, texts and links for yourself. Well, almost all smartphones have a Notes app for that, but WhatsApp has now merged the feature into their application. One good thing is, if you later want to share the saved texts or notes with someone in WhatsApp, you can just swipe and forward them directly without any hassles.
The main rival of WhatsApp, Telegram, previously had a feature like this as well. It is important to note that WhatsApp began testing this functionality in October, while Telegram had it from the release of its own app. And now, some one and a half to two months after testing began, the stable rollout is beginning.
To see if the new feature is available, search for the most latest version of WhatsApp in the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. But if you haven’t received the update yet, we advise you to hold off for a few more days. The feature will soon be made available to more people. What do you think of the recently added feature?
