WhatsApp Tests Message Reminder Feature to Prevent Forgetting
WhatsApp is trying out a new feature to help you remember important messages.
Imagine you can tell WhatsApp, "Hey, remind me about this later!"
You can set a timer, like a little alarm, for 2 hours, 8 hours, or a whole day.
When the time is up, WhatsApp will send you a notification to remind you about the message.
It's like a helpful nudge so you don't miss anything important.
The app might also remind you about messages you might have missed on purpose.
WhatsApp is testing a new "Remind Me" feature for messages.
Users can set reminders for messages by long-pressing and selecting a time.
Reminders can be set for 2 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours, or a custom time.
A bell icon will indicate messages with set reminders.
Notifications will include the message, sender, and preview when the time arrives.
