If you’re like most people, you probably use WhatsApp to keep in touch with friends and family. But there are a lot of ways to use the app to manage your To-Dos. Here are three tips:

  1. Create To-Dos for specific tasks or projects. For example, you can create a To-Do list for your home improvement project, or create a To-Do list for your work schedule.
  2. Use the app’s “To Do” feature to add items that need to be done but haven’t been completed yet. This can be helpful when you have a lot of things on your plate and don’t have time to do everything that needs to be done, but you want to make sure that all of your tasks are included on the To Do list.
  3. Use the “To Do” feature as a way to track progress on specific tasks. This can help you stay motivated and keep track of how many tasks remain until an event or goal is met.

Any.Do offers a WhatsApp bot that reminds you of your upcoming tasks, and lets you add new ones right from the messaging app. It’s only available for users who have subscribed to the $2.99/month premium plan, however. Here’s how to set it up.

To enable the WhatsApp service, head over to Any.Do’s web app. Next, click the gear icon in the top-right corner to reveal a dropdown menu.

Select “Integrations” and then click “WhatsApp Reminders.”

Type in your WhatsApp-connected phone number.

Any.Do will send you a two-factor authentication SMS. Enter that to verify the connection.

That’s it. On WhatsApp, you will immediately receive a confirmation text from the Any.Do bot.

To create a new task in your Any.Do account on WhatsApp, all you need to do is ping the bot. For instance, open the WhatsApp app on your iPhone, Android, or on the web and then send “Get groceries.” The bot will automatically append a to-do with the text as the title in your default Any.Do list.

The Any.Do bot also understands natural language input for due dates. Therefore, instead of typing up a specific time, you can tell it to remind you of a task say next week or tomorrow.

Alternatively, if you’re looking to add a task out of an incoming text, you don’t have to type anything at all. You can just forward messages to the Any.Do chat to turn them into to-dos.

The Any.Do WhatsApp bot can even notify you when a task is due. But in case you find this redundant since you might already have other app notification enabled, you have the option to switch it off.

To do that, visit the Any.Do website and navigate to the gear icon menu > Integrations > WhatsApp Reminders. Click the “Off” button.

Here, you can also disconnect Any.Do from your WhatsApp account by selecting the “Disconnect” button.

Similar to Any.Do’s bot integration, there are several services that allow you to easily turn emails into tasks.
