Not even a few weeks ago when WhatsApp started implementing the function of sending messages to yourself , just like Telegram also has. Now in the WhatsApp beta channel, testing is being opened to more users so they can start using it this app as personal cloud storage , or turn it into a notes app.
Messages to yourself on WhatsApp
Through from Android Police we know that the WABetaInfo reported that this new feature is starting to be widely rolled out to many users who are on the WhatsApp beta from version 2.22.23.77 .
Practically this function was seen in many other messaging apps that allow you to send a message to yourself to save the text or simply share content with yourself.
That is, all the active functions present in a chat are also active when we send a message to ourselves, so share photos, videos or documents, as well as links , can also be used to turn WhatsApp into a personal cloud.
Or in a notepad where you can send reminders or any text and thus leave aside the notes application that you usually use for these messages. This is a novelty for this chat application, because Telegram has been using this feature for many years and also served as an alternative to cloud storage provided by other applications such as Dropbox or Google Drive itself.
Add a shortcut to your own chat
The list to send the message to yourself Android Police Free Android
Simply, as you would do with a new chat in WhatsApp, click on the bottom right button in the chats list, and choose from the list , appears in the first position, you as a contact.
Now you will have the chat window with all common options for you to send a text to yourself and it will appear saved as if it were another conversation. Everything is very simple to make the experience easier.
One detail to keep in mind is that WhatsApp itself guarantees that end-to-end encryption is also present in this personal chat, which allows you to transform this app into a personal cloud or notepad.
And the most interesting trick to access these texts or personal cloud storage When sharing files of all types, it is adding a shortcut on the home screen that takes us directly to our chat.
If we long press the application icon on the mobile desktop, the last contacts we have talked to appear, we press on our own and we drag it anywhere to have access at hand.
A new WhatsApp feature that should reach more users in the beta version and in a matter of days in the stable version so that anyone can use this app as a personal cloud or a notepad.
