With 2 billion users, WhatsApp is the most used instant messaging application in the world, with several features to make the user experience more complete, including individual chats, groups, calls, video calls, among others.
However, Meta, the parent company of the application, is constantly developing new tools for its users, which is why it is working on a new feature to send messages to themselves.
Why should we send messages to ourselves? As the article published on the site reminds us Xatakaon WhatsApp, it has always been possible for some time to send messages to yourself, adding yourself to contacts, using a link or with a group.
People have used these tricks to keep notes for themselves and it’s a fairly common practice on the app, so common that the company’s engineers decided to develop a specific feature for it.
Details about the function for sending messages to yourself
After launching the beta version for the Android 2.22.24.2 update, WhatsApp is now launching a test by sending “self-messages” to some beta testers.
After updating to the latest version of the Android app, some testers noticed that WhatsApp now offers this feature to send messages to yourself.
Simply put, WhatsApp only highlights the chat with your phone number using a different title “I (you)”. Additionally, this new feature is also available to some beta testers after installing the iOS 22.23.0.70 update.
Testers have also long noticed better synchronization of chat messages with their phone number. If you send a message to chat with your number, it will always sync with the other connected devices.
This functionality is expected to be integrated in final releases by the end of the year.
