How to Send a Message to Yourself on WhatsApp
Sending a message to yourself on WhatsApp can be useful for saving notes, links, reminders, or files. Here are some easy methods to do it:
Method 1: Using Your Own Contact
- Open WhatsApp on your phone.
- Search for your own phone number in the contacts or create a new contact with your own number if it doesn't exist.
- Open the chat with yourself and start sending messages, links, photos, or voice notes.
Note: Sometimes your own number may not appear automatically in WhatsApp contacts, so you might need to add yourself as a contact first.
Method 2: Using the Click to Chat Feature
WhatsApp has a feature called "Click to Chat" that lets you start a chat with any number without saving it as a contact.
-
Open your phone’s browser.
-
Type the following URL, replacing
YOURNUMBER
with your full phone number including country code (but without the plus sign or zeros):https://wa.me/YOURNUMBER
Example: If your number is +1 234 567 8901, enter:
https://wa.me/12345678901
- Hit enter, and a WhatsApp page will open with a button to "Message" yourself.
- Tap the button, and it will open a chat with yourself in WhatsApp.
- Start sending messages.
Method 3: Using WhatsApp Status (Alternative)
While not a direct message, you can use WhatsApp Status to save temporary notes or media visible only to you by customizing privacy settings.
