WhatsApp could soon make the “Chat with your own number” feature available to Windows users as well. The Message Yourself feature, which allows users to text themselves, was launched on WhatsApp for Android and iOS last month. And now it’s reportedly available in WhatsApp’s latest beta app for Windows. This allows users to easily send quick notes or reminders or important information to themselves. Previously, to do this, users had to register a second WhatsApp account with their other phone number.
according to a report from WhatsApp beta tracker WABetaInfo, the Meta-owned messaging service, has started rolling out the ability to send yourself messages with the latest WhatsApp beta update for Windows 2.2248.2.0.
Whatsapp Users must download the latest version of the beta app from the Microsoft Store to access this feature. Once installed, users will see a separate chat with their name followed by “(you)”. You can just open the tab and send quick notes, shopping lists, reminders, bookmarks and others.
As per the report, any message sent to your number will be delivered to all linked devices. Notably, the chat will be end-to-end encrypted, so only the user who sent the message can see it on their connected devices.
Meanwhile WhatsApp recently introduced Avatars in the messaging app that allow users to curate their digital presentation. Users can choose hairstyles, facial features, and outfits from the available combinations to create an avatar of themselves. The instant messaging app has also added 36 custom stickers reflecting different emotions and actions. One can set an avatar as a WhatsApp profile photo or use it as a sticker.
Instagramwhich also belongs to Meta, previously added support for avatars, just like Facebook and Facebook delivery boy.
