WhatsApp is one of the most widely used messaging application. The app allows you to chat, share images, videos and more for free. However, things get a bit difficult when you need to send a message to someone but do not want to save their number. Here's how you can easily solve this problem.
We are often placed in certain scenarios when we need to send WhatsApp message or start a chat with someone for a short period of time. However, saving the person's number can impact your privacy as you might have set your profile picture and status to "Contacts Only". So you can simply follow these steps in order to start a chat with anyone without even having the need to save their phone number.
How to send a WhatsApp message without saving the phone number
- Open up a browser on your smartphone
- Type "https://api.WhatsApp.com/send?phone=number" replacing the "number" with the person's number with the country code.
For example, if the number 987654321 is Indian, you need to type 91987654321 - If the person is available on WhatsApp, you will get a page with a link for "Message"
- You can tap on that green icon and it will open chat of the person. Now you can send any message without having the need to save his/her number
