Device Links
Many instant messaging apps like Facebook, Telegram, Discord, and Slack allow users to send messages to themselves. This feature is particularly useful when you need to copy and paste links, upload files, or jot down notes for future reference. But does Skype provide a similar option?
In this article, we will explore how to send a message to yourself on Skype across different devices. Additionally, you'll learn how to pin that chat for quick access.
Sending messages to yourself can be beneficial in various scenarios. For example, if you're working on two computers, you can easily transfer files, links, or notes to yourself. Unfortunately, unlike many other messaging apps, Skype does not directly allow sending messages to yourself. Searching for your username will yield no results.
However, a workaround exists: you can create a group chat that includes only yourself, allowing you to send messages to your "My Notes" group. Follow these simple steps to set up a group chat on your PC:
Skype will suggest group members, but you can simply click the “Done” button since you're not adding anyone else. Start sending messages to yourself immediately!
For easier access to your chat, you can pin it to the top of your chat list. Here’s how to do it on the desktop app:
Your chat will now appear at the top of the “Chats” and “Contacts” tabs.
You can also create a group chat on Skype mobile apps. Here’s how to do it:
Now you can send messages to yourself using this newly created group chat. You can also pin the chat for quick access, just like on the desktop app:
Your group chat will now be pinned to the top of your chat list, making it quicker to access when you need to send yourself a message or upload a file. You can create multiple group chats for different purposes, such as business notes, reminders, or personal messages.
While Skype doesn’t provide a straightforward way to send messages to yourself, creating a personal group chat is an excellent solution. This workaround allows you to send links, files, and more to yourself easily and efficiently, regardless of the device you're using.
