WhatsApp is without a doubt the most popular messaging app on the planet. With more than two billion monthly users, there’s a decent possibility that anyone you’d like to contact us on the service.
But sometimes you might want to contact a business or service contact for a one-time conversation now and then, but adding the number to your phonebook could result in unnecessary clutter.
Let’s look at a few different ways to start a WhatsApp conversation without having to add a phone number as a contact.
There are some ways to start a WhatsApp conversation without saving any phone number
- Using WhatsApp short links
- On Android, use an app; on iOS, use shortcuts
- Using WhatsApp short links, you can start a chat from your browser.
To start a chat using WhatsApp short links
It appears at first that WhatsApp offers no means to start a conversation without preserving a phone number. To utilize the feature, simply open your browser and type https://wa.me/phonenumber into the address bar.
The country and region code should also be included in the phone number field, but no modifiers such as +, –, or 00 should be used. If you’re in India, for example, the syntax would be https://wa.me/919911223344.
When you press enter, WhatsApp will take you to a page with a green message button. This button will take you to the chat room.
To start a WhatsApp conversation, use an app
WhatsDirect is one such software that allows you to enter a phone number and a chat message, then touch send to be taken to the main messaging app.
The programme does not require any permissions, however, it does display advertisements in its interface. Click to talk is an alternative that serves the same function but without advertising.
How to send a WhatsApp message without saving the number on your iPhone
While the first approach of using a wa.me link in the browser also works on an iPhone, there is a better way to WhatsApp chat on iOS without preserving contact numbers. You may use the shortcuts app to set up a simple way to enter a phone number and start a conversation.
