To send a message on WhatsApp without saving the contact’s number, you can use the following steps:
- Open your preferred web browser: This method requires using a web browser to access the WhatsApp chat interface.
- Enter the URL: Type the following URL in the address bar: https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=XXXXXXXXXXXX (Replace “XXXXXXXXXXXX” with the recipient’s phone number in international format. For example, if the number is +1-555-123-4567, then the URL should be https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=15551234567).
- Press Enter: Once you’ve entered the URL, press enter or click on the search button to load the web page.
- Confirm the Phone Number: You’ll be redirected to the WhatsApp web page where the chat interface will be displayed. You’ll also see a message asking if you want to send a message to the phone number you entered. Verify that the phone number displayed is correct.
- Compose your message: Type your message in the text box at the bottom of the screen. You can also attach files or photos to your message by clicking on the paperclip icon.
- Send your message: Once you’ve composed your message, click on the send button to send it to the recipient.
That’s it! Your message will be sent to the recipient’s WhatsApp account without saving their number to your contacts. Note that this method may not work if the recipient has not enabled the “Click to Chat” feature in their WhatsApp settings, or if WhatsApp is restricted or banned in your country.
