WhatsApp It continues to follow Telegram in certain aspects despite being much more used. Meta’s messaging service recently added a feature that makes it easy for the user to message themselves, which can come in handy for remembering messages or data like the location of the car in an unknown place without having to resort to another application.
The feature that allows the user to send messages to each other is called in English Message Yourself (message yourself) and will be rolling out in the coming weeks for the iOS and Android apps. When you have reached update mode, the user should see their own contact listed in order to start a conversation.
WhatsApp allows a user to send messages to each other, but that was supported and continues to be supported by the “click to chat” function of the application itself and a wa.me URL. Obviously, Message Yourself takes care of eliminating the extra steps required so far and will allow the user to “converse” with himself in an easy way and with access, at least in theory, to the same features as if you were exchanging text messages with another user, including the ability to pin the conversation to the top so you don’t have to search for it when you open the app.
In addition to Telegram, Signal also allows the user to save messages to himself with the Private Notes feature, which supports the end-to-end encryption that the service uses itself and allows you to set a counter to make it difficult for saved data to end up in the wrong place. the wrong hands. In Telegram one finds the “Saved Messages” conversation that allows the user to chat with himself in text mode and is available from the main menu of the application on Android, iOS and Desktop.
In short, WhatsApp users will soon be able to send messages to themselves in an easy and official way. It’s not the most revolutionary feature in the world, but on devices like mobiles, where the flow of use isn’t as streamlined as a PC, it’s a small addition that helps to remember or store messages and data that may be useful for later, such as the location you are at now to return to later.
