WhatsApp Launches New Tool on Android, iPhone

Editor/

WhatsApp messaging app has launched a new tool called ‘Message Yourself’, which, as the name suggests, lets you send yourself notes, reminders and updates. 

This feature will be available on Android and iPhone and will be rolled out to all users in the coming weeks.

The ‘Message Yourself’ tool lets you start a 1:1 chat with yourself within the WhatsApp app. 

It will help users to keep track of their to-do lists, send themselves notes, reminders or shopping lists, according to WhatsApp. 

To use the tool, simply open WhatsApp and create a new chat by tapping on the icon in the top right corner of the screen. 

You’ll now see your own contact at the top of the list, above your phone contacts. 

Simply click on your number and start messaging. 

The new feature comes shortly after WhatsApp launched a new tool called Communities, which lets you message multiple groups at once. 

The tool allows users to place several group chats together under one topic and share updates with them all.   

Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, WhatsApp’s parent company, said, “Today we’re launching Communities on WhatsApp. 

“It makes groups better by enabling sub-groups, multiple threads, announcement channels, and more.”
