On Monday, Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp announced the launch of a new ‘Message Yourself’ feature in India in the coming weeks. According to the company, it is a 1:1 chat with yourself where you can send notes, reminders, and updates.
To manage their to-do lists, WhatsApp users can send notes, reminders, shopping lists, and other items to themselves. To use the new feature, launch WhatsApp, start a new chat, then select your contact at the top of the list and begin messaging.
“This feature will be available on Android and iPhone and will be rolled out to all users in the coming weeks,” the company said.
Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced ‘Communities on WhatsApp’ earlier this month, along with several new features such as 32-person video calling, in-chat polls, and groups with up to 1,024 users.

WhatsApp is also said to be working on a mute shortcut for group chats for a future WhatsApp Desktop beta update. According to WABetaInfo, the mute shortcut will appear at the top of group chats and will allow users to disable notifications for messages received in the group.
Meta Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced earlier this month that groups can have up to 1,024 members, so the new feature will be very useful for users who do not want to receive a lot of notifications from group chats.
Two weeks ago, WhatsApp beta for Android received the same feature to automatically turn off notifications for large groups.
Meanwhile, the messaging platform has rolled out to some beta testers a new feature that allows users to see profile photos within group chats on a desktop. The feature assists users in identifying group members for whom they do not have a phone number or who have the same name.
