BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

A new feature launched by messaging platform WhatsApp lets users chat with themselves by sending messages that would allow easy access to pieces of information, such as notes. 

Alongside notes, reminders, to-do lists, and shopping lists are also part of easy access through the feature “Message Yourself", which was announced on Monday by the owner, Meta, and will eventually be available to Android and iPhone users in the next upcoming weeks.

After being initially tested with some beta testers, as confirmed by WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo in October, the company confirmed to TechCrunch that the new update will become soon available globally.

Users can also pin their self-chat messages and avoid going through an extensive search list among other chats or contacts. 

This feature, however, although new to Whatsapp, it's so fresh to some users who have already used such an aspect with other platforms and was already available through the self-chat option using the wa.me URL. Community platform Slack, for example, has a space called “Jot Something Down” to allow users to send notes and save them to themselves, similar to messaging app Telegram.

Telegram has a space called Saved Messages where users can send, bookmark, and pin messages and notes to themselves, which can be accessed from the top of the screen.

Note to Self is another feature found in WhatsApp's rival Signal that has the same advantages with the same functions with one downside, which is that users are required to go through a search-and-select process to find their own name and start saving notes.
