The Message Yourself feature of WhatsApp for iOS and Android is now rolling out to live versions after spending so much time in beta.
Message Yourself allows you to send messages to yourself, as the name suggests. The messages in this conversation with yourself are exclusively for your eyes, but otherwise, it functions just like any other chat. This can be used to communicate files, documents, links, etc. between different devices or to save essential information for later use.
Message Yourself, as the name suggests, allows you to send messages to yourself. This chat with oneself will function similarly to any other ordinary chat, with the exception that the messages will only be visible to you. You can use this to save essential information for later or to transfer files, documents, links, and other data between devices.
WhatsApp has been testing this functionality since October when it was first made available in beta form. Other systems, such as Telegram and Slack, have had it since the beginning. People have previously worked around its absence by eliminating other people from a group to create a private conversation for themselves, but the process should be much faster now.
Because the deployment is still in progress, the functionality is not yet available to all users at the time of writing. It hasn’t arrived in Pakistan, at least not yet, according to the Harcheez in Islamabad.
More Features on the Way
In related news, WhatsApp is currently working on a number of new small features. Some of these are already available in the beta version for some users, implying that they will be available in the live version soon.
One of these would be a minor change to group conversations in which participants’ profile images will be visible next to their messages in the chat. Soon, the app will allow you to forward messages and media with captions.
