WhatsApp continues to work to add new features. Among them, according to the specialized media WABetaInfo, is a new personal chat that will allow users to send messages to themselves within the application itself and even if they have different devices linked to the account. Something that will be possible soon.
So far, users of the instant messaging app they have had to resort to other alternatives to be able to use this service as a disaster drawer in which to store their own information. For example, creating a group and becoming the only participants.
However, this option does not support multi-device function, since when using multiple devices linked with a single WhatsApp account, this chat only appears on the main device.
According to WABetaInfo, the functionality is in the beta of WhatsApp for desktop. In it you can see the user’s own phone number as the first contact in the application’s agenda.
Users will be able to access this functionality from all devices linked to their account, regardless of whether it is the ‘smartphone‘ main or the rest of the devices in which said WhatsApp account has been linked.
The multi-device function, which the company is currently working on and which, when the time comes, will allow one WhatsApp account to be used in up to four ‘gadgets’, will be available in the future for both Android and iOS devices. Or, at least, that’s what the ‘app’ promised more than a year ago. Without a doubt, it is one of the most requested novelties by users of the messaging platform since always.
The ability to create a personal chat with your own phone number is still under development and its release date is unknownalthough it is likely to come hand in hand, or almost, that the multi-device function.
