Updated On: February 21, 2025 by Selva Ganesh Leave a Comment

Even if we have plenty of methods to share the files between PC and mobile, When transferring one or two files, we use WhatsApp Web to share the data between PC and Mobile. For this purpose, we use our friend’s contacts to share the data. It is wise to use this method When you are in public PC. Instead of connecting and syncing all your mobile data, you can share only one file. Most of us use some contacts to store funny memes and essential files. When the data is sensitive, you can’t share them with your friends or other contacts. In those situations, the following method will help you. When you can send the WhatsApp messages to yourself, you don’t have to worry about your privacy.

  • Internet Cafe– You are in a situation to take a print out of your ID copy. You contacted nearby Internet Cafe, Where there is no card reader, USB cable are available. In that situation, you can easily send the documents to your number and can take a print out using WhatsApp Web.
  • Saving our Favourite Memes and Messages– You can access all the pictures and videos in your mobile Gallery. But, you can’t see emoji messages in the Gallery. So, you can save them in your private message.
  • Preview Messages– When you send pictures or video from another app, You can preview the messages before sending to someone. Example- You are creating roses with the emoji; after typing using third-party sites, When you send the message, due to alignment, it may break the creation, and the receiver doesn’t know what creation you are sending. They will, though, you send the only a bunch of emojis. So, If we preview the messages, we can align them correctly.
