by

WhatsApp is a popular messaging application that has made communication easier. You can send messages, images, videos, and even voice notes to any contact who also has the application installed. But what if you want to send a message to a new number that is not saved in your phone contacts? In this guide, we will be showing you how to WhatsApp a new number in a few simple steps.

Step 1: Save the New Number

The traditional way of sending a message to a new number on WhatsApp is by saving the number to your phone contacts. To do this:

  1. Go to your phone contacts and tap on ‘Add new contact’
  2. Enter the person’s name and their mobile number
  3. Save the contact

Once saved, the new contact will automatically appear on your WhatsApp contact list.

Step 2: Send a Message on WhatsApp

After saving the contact:

  1. Open WhatsApp
  2. Towards the bottom-right, tap on the ‘New chat’ icon
  3. Search for the newly saved contact
  4. Tap on the contact’s name to open a chat window
  5. Type your message and tap the ‘Send’ button

Messaging a New Number Without Saving Contact

However, there’s a workaround if you want to send a message to a new number without having to save it to your contacts. You can do this by creating a link using WhatsApp’s Click to Chat feature.

Here is how:

  1. Open any web browser on your phone
  2. Type the following URL in the search bar: https://wa.me/
  3. After the trailing slash, type the phone number you wish to message, starting with the country code (without any plus signs or dashes). For instance, for a US number (country code 1), you would type: https://wa.me/11234567890
  4. Press ‘Enter’ or ‘Go’ to open the link
  5. You’ll be redirected to a page with a message button. Tap on it to open a chat with the number in WhatsApp

This method allows you to message new numbers directly without having to save them in your contact list. Quite handy, right?

Conclusion

WhatsApp has revolutionized the way we communicate, and with these simple tips, you can easily get in touch with new numbers, whether by saving them to your contacts or using the convenient Click to Chat feature.
