Tired of one-time contacts filling up your address book?
82%
Of users find it frustrating to save a contact for just a single message. This infographic shows you the best ways to bypass it.
Method 1: The Official “Click to Chat” Link
WhatsApp provides an official, secure way to start a chat using a `wa.me` link. This is the most recommended method as it’s secure and works on all devices (phone or desktop).
Get the full number with country code (e.g., 15551234567).
Open your browser and type:
https://wa.me/NUMBER
Replace NUMBER with the actual phone number. (e.g., wa.me/15551234567)
Hit ‘Enter’ and click ‘Continue to Chat’ to open WhatsApp.
How Users Get It Done
While the `wa.me` link is official, users are split on their preferred methods. Many still rely on third-party apps, which can pose security risks.
Methods At-a-Glance
Each method has trade-offs between ease of use, security, and which devices it works on. Here’s a quick comparison.
| Method | Ease | Security | Platform |
|---|---|---|---|
| `wa.me` Link | Easy | High | All |
| Android Text Select | Very Easy | High | Android Only |
| 3rd-Party Apps | Easy | Variable | All |
Key Takeaway: Chat Smarter
Using the official wa.me link is the most reliable, secure, and universally compatible method. While the Android text-selection trick is fast if available, always be cautious with third-party apps that require access to your data.
Many third-party apps make this easy for you. It shouldn’t take much to send messages via WhatsApp, even without adding a contact. These apps can cause problems with your smartphone’s security and functionality. Some apps may not work with certain operating systems.
We’ll show how to send WhatsApp messages without adding a contact to your phone book. This method works on both iOS and Android, and does not require you to install any other apps.
How do you send a WhatsApp message to a contact without saving it?
To start a conversation with someone, create a WhatsApp number. Click on the link to open a chat with that person.
This process can seem confusing at first for those who aren’t very familiar with using their smartphone. It becomes much easier once you have tried it.
Open the browser app on your smartphone.
In the search bar, type the following link: https://api.whatsapp.com/send.phone=XXXXXXXXXXXXX
On your smartphone, press “Enter”.
A WhatsApp window will appear asking you if it is possible to send a text message to this number. Click on “send message”.
The WhatsApp application will automatically redirect you to it with a “start conversation” window for the person that was entered into your phone.
You can send messages to people using WhatsApp if you have it installed on your computer. It is easier and quicker than sending a message via a laptop.
