While some have been sending messages to themselves in WhatsApp using workarounds like going through their contacts or a chat link for a long time now, the messaging app is finally adding improvements that allows users to do this natively in-app.

According to a report from WABetaInfo, the feature was spotted in the beta version of WhatsApp on both iOS and Android, when users selected the new message button and were shown the option to “message yourself" in the contact list.
