WhatsApp update: The Meta-owned popular messaging application WhatsApp is working on improvements toward multi-device usage. WhatsApp is now working on a new multi-device support feature. Soon users will soon be able to send messages to themselves and view their own chats from linked devices. This feature will first arrive in the WhatsApp beta for desktop, and will later make its way to the Android and iOS versions as well.
 
"One of the missing features of multi-device is the ability to send messages to yourself from a linked device. In fact, some people were used to sending messages to themselves by opening the chat with their own phone number for several reasons, for example, to save something important.  Unfortunately, this is no longer possible when using multi-device because the chat with their own phone number only shows up on the primary device but WhatsApp is finally developing a solution to release in a future update of WhatsApp Desktop beta," WABetaInfo, a website that tracks WhatsApp, reported.

According to the report, when you are searching for contacts within WhatsApp Desktop beta, you will be able to send messages to yourself by tapping your personal chat in the future. This chat will also show up when you try to log into WhatsApp from another different mobile device when the feature will be released to people at a later date.

Meanwhile, WhatsApp is working on hiding the online status on WhatsApp Desktop beta. The messaging application has also developed the new privacy setting on WhatsApp Desktop beta, where you will be able to choose who can see when you are online on WhatsApp very soon.

'Last month, we announced that the feature was under development on WhatsApp beta for iOS and WhatsApp beta for Android but no news was available for the web/desktop client… until today. In fact, the dev team just finished to develop this feature on WhatsApp Desktop beta," WABetaInfo said in a report.
