Tdesktop: (suggestion) show "MYSELF" as a contact would be a killer feature

Telegram is rocketing on professionals and teams, because is exahusting comunicating all day via whatsapp.

One Killer feature would be to _show yourself as a contact_ so you can easily send documents/pictures between destkop and mobile.

Would do the same as "pushbullet" from google.

Many of my friends take telegram only because they can send documents to themselves

Well, nobody stops you just adding yourself as a contact and sending messages to yourself. Or you can just select yourself in group members list and press "Send Message" even without adding yourself to contacts list. No need to do it explicitly hack-way.

I know, you are right!

But you'll be surprised how this simple hack (adding myself as a contact) is a game changer for the low-tech people that make the 95% of users.

When I've shown Telegram to my friends they always say "why would I use it? I have whatsapp"
and then I show them how I can send myself pictures and type on a big keyboard and only after that they change.

I am talking about average low-tech people, like "Jen" from "the IT crowd". Those people make the 95% of all users.

Also, you can create private channel (not group) with only you as a member.
