  • Sahiba1095 Sahiba (@Sahiba1095) reported

    @WhatsApp should allow you to send messages to your own contact like @SlackHQ does. WhatsApp is the app I frequently use through out the day and I’d rather take down important notes in the ‘self’ WhatsApp chat than go into the notes app in my phone.
