As weird as it might seem WhatsApp could soon roll out a feature that will allow you to send yourself a text message.

The feature was discovered by WABetaInfo.

The feature might be rolling out in a few months.

Messaging yourself can come in handy if you wish to transfer files between your devices or want to save an important message to send later.

Currently, it is in testing but a few selected users are already getting access to try out the “Message yourself” feature.

Expect an added chat option ‘Me (You)’ to send messages to yourself, once you click the chat option on the floating action button at the bottom right corner.

There are already various methods and workaround you can use to message yourself in WhatsApp, but this will be the simpler method.

The feature will be available on both Android and iOS.

WhatsApp is yet to make an official statement on the feature.
