Send WhatsApp Messages Without Saving Contacts: 5 Easy Methods

WhatsApp has become the most used messaging app for billions of users around the world. While the platform allows for seamless communication, it usually requires you to save contacts to initiate chats. However, there are situations where you may need to send a message without adding the number to your contact list.

Here are five simple methods to send WhatsApp messages without saving your number:

Method 1: Using WhatsApp

Open WhatsApp and copy the mobile number you want to message.

Click the “New Chat” button and select your name in the “WhatsApp Contacts” section.

Paste your mobile number in the text box and click “Send”.

Click on the mobile number; if the person uses WhatsApp, you will see the “Chat with” option.

Click “Chat with” to start a conversation.

Method 2: Create a link in your browser

Open your browser (mobile or desktop).

Paste the following link in the address bar: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=xxxxxxxxxx

Replace “xxxxxxxxxx” with your mobile phone number and country code (e.g. http://wa.me/919876543210).

Press Enter and select “Continue Chat” to open the WhatsApp chat window.

Method 3: Using Truecaller App

Dictate the message you want to send.

Google Assistant will send a WhatsApp message to the number you provided.
