Have you ever thought of the fantastic facility of WhatsApp and other chat apps that they offer you to chat with anyone who has WhatsApp? Yes, anyone using WhatsApp, be a use of Android or iOS, can chat with you. But, again, have you thought of the person you can’t chat with? It is none other than yourself.
Texting Yourself
Well, it might not be a novel ability for iMessage, but the feature is brand new for WhatsApp. The app now has a direct way to text your own number. Until now, the only way to text yourself in WhatsApp was to create a group and remove all other members. But that is somewhat weird and not a direct self-communication either.
Why is it Amazing?
Texting yourself: the idea at first may not sound practical, and you may think it is for those who don’t have friends to talk to, but the idea is bigger.
Think of it as a substitute for a notes app. Think how often your thoughts got raveled and you wished to write them somewhere. Texting yourself via WhatsApp allows you to jot down your thought, save interesting links and attachments, videos and photos, and you can write anything from your mind or anything important. Whenever we need to send any of those contents to a person in your WhatsApp contact, it will be easier for you to access it than from a random notes app.
You can also share files across various devices like Mac, Windows, Android, or iPhone via WhatsApp self-texting, as it is a cross-platform app and sharing files across different devices was not that smooth earlier.
How to Text Yourself Via WhatsApp
iOS users will need a running version 22.23.74 to get the self-texting feature, and for Android users, it will be version 2.22.23.77. If you run those versions, you will see your own contact on the top of contacts on WhatsApp. Tapping it will show you the message yourself branding. Then you can text yourself, one-sided, however. These texts will also be end-to-end encrypted. You will be protected from any kind of hacking. For further learning, you can see a few websites.
