MESSAGE YOURSELF FEATURE ON WHATSAPP ROLLS OUT

WASHINGTON: WhatsApp, the Meta-owned social messaging service, has begun distributing out the 'Message Yourself' function, which allows you to speak with yourself.

According to information, the 'Message Yourself' feature was initially identified by WaBetaInfo some weeks ago as part of a beta test, but is now being rolled out internationally to iOS and Android users in the coming weeks.

While you receive the update, you will be able to see yourself at the top of the contacts list when creating new messages. Users will be able to send themselves notes, reminders, and shopping lists using WhatsApp.

Users may also put their Message Yourself discussions to the top of a conversation list to make them easier to find. You could only message yourself before now by forming a group with only you as a member or by utilising the app's "click to talk" option.

"WhatsApp only began publicly testing this functionality in October. Some users have already worked around its absence by forming a group and then eliminating other members to basically create a private chat for themselves, according to GSMArena.

In the following weeks, the functionality will be accessible.

Earlier in November, Meta-owned messaging app announced plans to add a screen lock feature for desktop users.

For Android users, this new screen lock option was previously accessible. The security of the messaging software was the primary issue for desktop users, as signing in to WhatsApp on the web may be highly dangerous.

To address this issue, WhatsApp intends to launch a new screen lock function. It will first be accessible for WhatsApp beta users to test.
