How to message myself on WhatsApp Android - in detail?

Messaging yourself on WhatsApp Android can be a useful way to keep track of important notes, reminders, or even just test out new features. Here is a detailed guide on how to do this:

1. Create a Broadcast List: WhatsApp doesn't directly support sending messages to yourself, but you can create a broadcast list that includes only your number. This way, any message sent through the broadcast list will be delivered to your own device.

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the 'Chats' tab.
   • Tap on the three dots in the top right corner to open the menu.
   • Select 'New Broadcast'.
   • Add your contact (yourself) to the broadcast list. You can only add one person, so it will be just you.
   • Tap 'Create' to set up the broadcast list.

2. Send Messages: Now that you have created a broadcast list with yourself as the only recipient, you can send messages to this list as if it were any other contact.

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the 'Chats' tab.
   • Select the broadcast list you created (it will show your name or number).
   • Type your message in the text box at the bottom of the screen.
   • Tap 'Send'. The message will be delivered to your own device.

3. View Messages: Any messages sent through the broadcast list will appear in your chat history, allowing you to easily view and manage your reminders or notes.

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the 'Chats' tab.
   • Select the broadcast list (your name or number) to see all the messages you have sent to yourself.

4. Edit Broadcast List: If needed, you can edit the broadcast list to add or remove contacts. However, since this list is for messaging yourself, it should only include your own contact.

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the 'Chats' tab.
   • Select the broadcast list (your name or number).
   • Tap on the three dots in the top right corner to open the menu.
   • Select 'Edit List'. Here you can add or remove contacts, but for your purposes, it should remain just you.

5. Archive or Delete Messages: As with any other chat, you have the option to archive or delete messages sent through the broadcast list.

   • Open WhatsApp and go to the 'Chats' tab.
   • Select the broadcast list (your name or number).
   • Use the options at the top of the screen to archive or delete the chat as needed.

By following these steps, you can effectively message yourself on WhatsApp Android, providing a convenient way to send reminders and notes directly to your device.
