I forward to myself even though my name isn't saved
How?
I have my name saved and I still can't forward to myself.
Maybe those that started doing so in the early(ier?) days of WhatsApp, can continue their "conversation" with themselves.
I tried to do it when I first downloaded WhatsApp, about 5 years ago (and again today when I read @moish post), and didn't have any luck.
Found out about the group trick 3 years ago, so that was nice...
If anyone wants to have themselves as a chat, just do this.
In another chat or in a notepad or wherever, type wa.me/17181234567 (put your phone number after the / ).
Then, just click on the link you just created and it will open a chat with your number in WhatsApp.
After sending yourself a message, you can pin it in your chats.
Just remember, you can't save a name for this chat.
