Never Miss a Follow-Up Again: Introducing Reminders for WhatsApp

Managing conversations on WhatsApp can feel like juggling ten things at once. 🙈 Forgetting to follow up, losing track of important chats, or struggling to stay organized can turn your inbox into chaos. We’ve all been there, and that’s exactly why we built our new Reminders for WhatsApp feature in Volt.
Here’s what it does and why we’re so excited about it:
What Are WhatsApp Reminders?
Reminders let you schedule a conversation to pop back into your inbox when you need it. Think of it like setting a timer on your chats. Whether you need to follow up with a client, remember a birthday, or simply nudge someone who tends to "forget" things (we all know one 🙃), Reminders keep you on top of it.
How It Works
Using Reminders is ridiculously easy. Here’s how:
- Set a Date & Time: Pick when you want the chat to come back to your inbox. For example, remind yourself to follow up today at 6 PM.
- Keyboard Shortcuts: Speed things up by pressing cmd + R and typing a quick time frame like "2d" for two days.
- Regardless Option: Need a reminder no matter what? Use "Regardless" to get a notification even if the person messages you in the meantime.
When the time comes, your chat will reappear in your inbox, clearly marked as a Reminder. No more digging through old conversations or accidentally forgetting to respond.
Why This Matters
We built this feature because WhatsApp wasn’t designed for busy people handling tons of conversations. If you’re like us, you’ve:
- Missed a follow-up and lost an opportunity.
- Had a mental "to-do list" for WhatsApp that’s hard to keep track of.
- Forgotten to reply to someone… and then felt awkward when you finally did. 😅
Reminders fix all that. They’re your new secret weapon for staying organized, responsive, and stress-free.
What’s Next?
This is just the beginning. We’re constantly working to make your WhatsApp experience faster, smoother, and more productive. Got feedback on Reminders? We’d love to hear it! Your input helps us keep building features that make a difference.
