That WhatsApp is the most popular and used messaging app in much of the world there is no doubt. But it is also that it has become the most used means of communication, not to mention the different uses that more and more people give to the popular app owned by Facebook. Perhaps one of the most interesting is the possibility of using WhatsApp as a notepad and this is how you can do it.
Every day there are many photos, messages or documents that we take or receive through WhatsApp, the mobile camera app itself or through our email and that we automatically store on the phone. However, when we later want to get hold of them, it is likely that we no longer know where we keep it . If we use WhatsApp as a notepad we will always have it at hand without having to resort to other apps ...
What advantages does it have?
The main advantage is that we always have direct access to WhatsAppby hand and it doesn't take long to find that note application that we never know where it is. Another advantage is that we do not need to install anything so we will save space in the internal memory of the mobile phone if we do not have too much space for apps. Also, the advantage is that it can be a shared notepad. It is enough to make groups with a person of the different things that you want to point out. For example, if you want to have a joint shopping list with your partner, you can write down what needs to be bought in as many groups as you want without using complex apps for shared notes or tasks. It is easy to use, suitable for all levels. And you can delete and start over whenever you want, just delete the message.
Another of the most useful functions is that we can send data to the computer through WhatsApp Web . It is enough to open the app on the computer and we can copy the text from the mobile to the PC, for example. Or even send us photographs that we will later have stored for a computer, a tablet, etc.
Three options to send you a message
However, it is possible to use WhatsApp as a notepad without having to bother our partner, parents or a friend, since we can send messages to ourselves and in this way, have our own chat with everything we want to save. This is very useful to send ourselves the shopping list, write down reminders, tasks that we do not want to be forgotten, etc. Therefore, the best way to use WhatsApp for this purpose is to create a chat with ourselves so that we do not have to disturb other people and that no one but us can have access to the information stored in it.
For those who do not know, the messaging application owned by Facebook does not allow us to send messages to ourselves, just like that. However, there are certain tricks with which we can achieve it:
- Create a group with another contact and then delete it to be alone
- Create a new contact from the messaging app and send a WhatsApp message from the phonebook
- Sending a message to a friend with a url like wa.me/minumber
Create a group with yourself
- We open the app on our mobile
- We tap on the menu button > New group
- We select a trusted contact
- We write the subject of the group, for example, Notepad and press Ok
- We touch on the group bar (where the name is shown)
- We scroll down until we find the list of members
- We touch on the other contact
- We select the option Delete said contact
- We will already have a group with ourselves to send us what we want
Add your phone number
- We open the WhatsApp app on our phone
- We touch on the magnifying glass icon as if we were going to look for one of our contacts
- Click on the send message icon
- Now the option New contact will appear and click on it
- We create a contact with the name Notepad and our phone number
- We close WhatsApp
- We open the mobile phone agenda
- We look for the contact and click on the option to send WhatsApp message
- We will automatically open a chat with ourselves
- You can now use WhatsApp as a notepad
Create a chat with ourselves
- We open the app on our phone
- We go to the chat of a trusted contact
- We send the message: wa.me/+346XXXXXXXX . Where we will have to replace the X with our phone number
- We touch on the link that generates in the chat of our contact
- We will automatically open a chat with ourselves and we can use it
Schedule a message for ourselves
- The first thing is to grant all the permissions that we are requesting the first time we run it.
- Within the application, click on the floating blue button at the bottom left.
- In the drop-down we click on Schedule Message .
- Now we will see a tab where we can choose the contact to send (that is, we pamper) write the message, put the time and day we want it to be launched. In addition, you have two options for sending the message, such as automatic or as notification .
- If we click Ask me before sending message , it will send us a notification so that we are the ones who send the message, something that does not make much sense in this. It is best not to check this option and thus make everything automatic.
