This new feature is helpful, especially when you want to write down an idea or share a link for later reference.
The feature can also be handy for sharing files with yourself from one platform to another.

How to message yourself on WhatsApp
Simply open a new chat, and when you’re selecting a contact to message, you’ll see your own contact right at the top of the list.
A different chat caption appears when opening this chat — “Message yourself.”
Messages sent to you will be visible across all your linked devices. WhatsApp will also maintain end-to-end encryption on these chats.
