This WhatsApp feature works well and helps the important message resurface without losing it amid various conversations with individual users and groups. Further, it will also keep the flow of ongoing conversations without interrupting important messages and tasks in other chats. The new feature is accessible to users on WhatsApp via the message options menu in a chat. A new option will be visible to the users, allowing them to set a reminder for a particular message. Once selected, it will offer options for intervals like two hours, eight hours, or one day.
