How to Send WhatsApp Message without saving number
WhatsApp is one of the most popular messaging apps, but one common frustration is the need to save a contact before sending a message. Fortunately, there are simple ways to send a WhatsApp message without saving the number. In this guide, we’ll explore different methods to help you message unsaved contacts effortlessly.
1. Use WhatsApp’s Click-to-Chat Link (The Easiest Way!)
This is my go-to method because it works on both phones and computers. Here’s how:
- Open your browser (Chrome, Safari, etc.).
- Type this in the address bar:CopyDownloadhttps://wa.me/911234567890 *(Replace *911234567890* with the full number, including the country code, but no spaces or symbols like + or -.)*
- Hit Enter, and WhatsApp will open with the chat ready.
- Just type your message and send—no saving required!
2. The Alternative Link (If the First One Doesn’t Work)
Sometimes, the first link might not redirect properly. No worries—try this instead:
- Type this in your browser:CopyDownloadhttps://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=911234567890
- Again, replace the number with the one you want to message.
- This should take you straight to WhatsApp’s chat screen.
3. For iPhone Users: The Temporary Call Trick
If you’re on an iPhone, here’s a neat workaround:
- Open your Phone app and dial the full number (with country code).
- Call it—don’t worry, you can cancel right away.
- Now open WhatsApp and go to the Calls tab.
- You’ll see the recent call—tap it, and you can message without saving!
(The number stays in your call log but won’t be saved in your contacts.)
4. Android Users: Try a Temporary Contact App
Some Android phones don’t let you message unsaved numbers easily. In that case, try this:
- Download an app like “Add Contact – Temporary Contact” from the Play Store.
- Add the number temporarily, open WhatsApp, and send your message.
- Once done, delete the temporary contact.
Why Does WhatsApp Make Us Save Contacts Anyway?
Honestly, it’s probably for security—to prevent spam. But these tricks help you bypass that while still keeping things simple.
