WhatsApp – Write a message to yourself: This is how Messenger becomes a notepad

With “Note to me”, the WhatsApp alternative Signal offers a way to store important notes for yourself directly in Messenger – such as a “To Do” or shopping list. WhatsApp has so far lacked a corresponding function. That is now changing.

In November 2022, WhatsApp introduced the “message me” feature. It will gradually be released for all accounts. To use it, you have to do the following:

If the function is not yet available to you, you can retrofit it yourself. There are several ways to do this: To send yourself a message, you can use WhatsApp’s click-to-chat function, for example.

This allows you to start a WhatsApp chat with someone without having their phone number saved in your phone’s address book.

To write yourself a message via Click to Chat, proceed as follows.

Alternative: Create a group and remove everyone except you

Alternatively, you can also create a WhatsApp group and remove the other members. Advantage here: You can call the chat “notepad” or “diary” and find it again quickly. With the other method, however, only your phone number is displayed.

More comfort through fixation

If you create a link to the chat on the start screen of your cell phone, you always have your “WhatsApp notepad” at hand.

You can also pin the note chat, then it will always be displayed at the top of the WhatsApp list.
