WhatsApp is commonly used to chat with friends, family, and coworkers. But did you know that you can also send messages to yourself on WhatsApp? This feature can prove extremely useful for many purposes.
If you need to use important information, photos, videos, links, or documents later, you can save them to your own WhatsApp chat. You don't even need a separate Notes app.
How to send yourself a message on WhatsApp?
Sending yourself a message is quite easy. Open WhatsApp and tap the New Chat option. Then, select the "Message Yourself" option that appears next to your profile or your phone number.
Your own chat will now open, where you can send text, photos, videos, links, documents, and other files just like you would in a regular WhatsApp chat.
Benefits of texting yourself:
1. Save important notes.
Important information related to a meeting, class, or daily tasks can be written down in your WhatsApp chat and saved. You can easily review it when needed.
2. Save important links
Found an important article, website, or video online that you want to review later? Send yourself the link on WhatsApp. This will save it in your chat and make it easy to find later.
3. Keep photos and documents
You can keep important photos, PDFs, Word files, or other documents in WhatsApp by sending them to yourself. This is especially useful if you need to quickly access a file on another device.
4. Create a Shopping List
Your WhatsApp chat can also be used as a small to-do list. For example, you can message yourself a list of what you need to buy from the store.
5. Keep important information in one place.
Travel information, address of a place, booking related information or any important work reminder can be saved in your chat.
Use WhatsApp Self-Chat smartly
If you send a lot to yourself, write short and clear messages to keep the different types of information in your chats organized. If needed, WhatsApp's Search feature can help you find old messages, photos, links, or documents.
