Send WhatsApp Messages Without Saving Numbers Using Click to Chat

WhatsApp has become more user-friendly by giving the users the option to clean their contact lists when they are engaging in short-term chats. The app has a feature called ‘Click to Chat’ that permits messaging without having to save a phone number. This capability is particularly important for conversations that are not expected to last long, like delivery services, one-off business queries, or short personal talks.

This tool is available for use on both WhatsApp mobile app and WhatsApp Web without any hassle. By utilizing a straightforward URL format, users can instantly initiate a conversation without saving the recipient’s number, thus keeping their address books neat and tidy.

How to Use WhatsApp Click to Chat

In essence, the procedure is to create a link that is unique to the given phone number. The subsequent steps outline how to engage in messaging devoid of the necessity to add a contact:

1. Format the phone number

Verify that the number consists of the complete international format along with the appropriate country code.

Get rid of all the symbols like plus signs (+), dashes, or brackets.

Ensure the accuracy of the digits by checking them.

2. Create the WhatsApp link

Either open a new tab in your browser or use any chat interface which allows you to type in links.

Go to the base URL: https://wa.me/

Put the complete international number directly after the last slash.

For instance:

A U.S. number (country code 1), 555-123-4567 → https://wa.me/15551234567

An Indian number, 95551234567 → https://wa.me/915551234567

3. Start messaging

Click or tap on the link that has been created.

WhatsApp will open a new chat window with the number that has not been saved for you already, thus granting you the right to communicate right away.

Optional: Pre-Filled Messages

If users wish to add a standard message, they can do so by altering the link. Add ?text= to the base URL and then type in the message you want to be automatically sent. Use in place of spaces for proper formatting.

For instance, to deliver the message "I’m interested in your car for sale" to a number in the U.S., the link would be:

https://wa.me/15551234567?text=I’m interested in your car for sale

The method eases the process of communication and is mainly advantageous for companies overseeing many single-time exchanges. WhatsApp, through the Click to Chat feature, offers a quicker and less messy way to connect without the need for personal contact lists to be overloaded.
