WhatsApp releases new Message Yourself feature, check how to use it
A few days back WhatsApp officially started rolling out the Telegram-like Polls feature to all its Android and iOS customers. Now the company is bringing another Telegram feature to WhatsApp users known as “Message Yourself.”
Telegram has been providing a “Saved messages” feature to its users for a long time, in which you can save any messages, pictures, videos, or files so that you do not have to wander here and there on your phone to find them.

It will allow you to share notes with yourself and forward any message or multimedia file from other chats within the app. You can also record voice notes and click photos on WhatsApp as you do with other contacts and keep them for yourself.
Now you don’t need to make a group and remove people to create your private space for saving messages or important files and media.
How to use WhatsApp Message Yourself feature:
First of all, make sure to update your WhatsApp to the latest version. To do so, you can simply visit Google Play Store on Android smartphones and App Store on iOS phones.
Open “WhatsApp” on your phone and tap on “Create a new chat icon” on the home page. You will be able to see your own number from the contacts at the top. Simply, select “your number” and start messaging.
Do note that this is a staged rollout and it might not be available for all users at the present time. If the feature has not reached you yet, have patience and wait for a few hours or days. As soon as the company will ensure its stability, it will make a wider rollout.

WhatsApp is rolling out the February 2023 update for the app users that installs a bunch of new features. One of those new features is the ability to send up to 100 pictures and videos at once to a WhatsApp chat or group.
While sharing media on WhatsApp, at one time or the other, everyone might have come across this problem that the app cannot share more than 30 images or videos at a time.

This is very annoying when you have less time or more media items to share. Thankfully, we no longer have to go through this kind of problem as we can now send up to 100 pictures and videos within our WhatsApp chats, making it easier for users to share entire albums with their friends and family.
Aside from this, the latest WhatsApp update also adds the ability to attach a caption when sharing documents so you have a new way to describe them. It further lets you choose a longer subject and description for your groups so that you can better describe groups.
In addition to this, the company also makes it possible to better express yourself by creating an avatar to use as a sticker and profile photo. It’s worth mentioning that this feature is already available in the app (Via WABetaInfo) but the company has now only mentioned it in the changelog.
WhatsApp has been offering the ability to delete messages for everyone for years. But have you ever mistakenly deleted the message just from your side when you want to delete it for another side as well? It’s so embarring. Therefore, Whatsapp now allows you to retain deleted messages so you can later delete them for everyone.
Recently, this famous messaging application has started to roll out a new update for Android and iOS users. As per the official information, this WhatsApp update makes it possible to retain your deleted messages by mistake for a few seconds.

Now when you delete a message just for you, you will see an “Undo” option at the bottom of your screen. When you tap on it, your deleted message will start appearing on the chat again. You can now use the “Delete for everyone” function to delete the message from another side too.

However, this retrieve ability will only be available for a few seconds when you delete the message. So if you want to keep your messages, don’t take much time to think and hit the Undo button.
It is worth mentioning that the Undo option will only appear when you tap the “Delete for me” option. And when you hit the “Delete for everyone” option, that message will be permanently deleted from both sides.
Do note that this is a staged rollout. This feature might not be present on your WhatsApp at this moment. However, the company is continuously expanding it and it will reach your Android or iOS phone as well. Make sure to upgrade your WhatsApp to the latest version to get this function.
"Delete for Me" 🤦🤦🤦
We've all been there, but now you can UNDO when you accidentally delete a message for you that you meant to delete for everyone! pic.twitter.com/wWgJ3JRc2r
