There are times when you come across messages, memes, videos or other information in WhatsApp conversation that you want to save for later use. You have the ability to star messages to bookmark specific messages and revisit them later. But the starred messages can soon become cluttered and require you to return to old chats. WhatsApp has offered another solution to this for a long time, but it has been hidden and not easily accessible to everyone. And now the Meta-owned messaging giant is making the 'message yourself' feature available to all users, a useful addition to WhatsApp's arsenal of features. If you've noticed this new feature in the contact window or want to learn an easy way to save notes, photos or more, let me explain how to "notify yourself" on WhatsApp.

Apart from the official method introduced by WhatsApp recently, we have also included a solution to start a conversation with yourself in the messaging app. That said, let's dive right in.

For WhatsApp power users, the messaging feature itself is not new per se. The option to send messages to your own phone number using the WhatsApp URL link has been available for the longest time. But not everyone wants to use a URL to start using the feature, hence the company has now integrated the same in its messaging app. Here's how to find and use the messaging feature in WhatsApp on iPhone and Android:

1. Open WhatsApp and click the "New Chat" button at the bottom right. In the contact list, you will find your own phone number with the label "Notify yourself".
