Send WhatsApp Messages Without Saving Contact Number

What is the Purpose?

Sending a WhatsApp message without saving the contact is useful if you don’t want to clog your contact list with temporary or one-time contacts or if you want to rapidly connect with someone without saving their contact information.

It is also useful for businesses that want to provide customers with an easy method to contact them without having to save their number first.

If you want to send a message to your own number to save important links, informations, or simply take notes, you can use this method.

Method 1: Use Click-to-Chat Link

WhatsApp provides a feature called click-to-chat, which is basically a link with the number that you want to send the message to and the message itself.

The link structure for WhatsApp is Click to Chat.

https://wa.me/<number>?text=<message>

Replace with full phone number of whom you want to send the message including country dialing code without ”+” symbol.

Replace with your message in url encoded format.

See the example below:

https://wa.me/919000012345?text=This%20is%20a%20message

The above example uses an Indian phone number with the 91 dialling code.

Simply paste this link in your mobile browser, and it will open a new chat in your WhatsApp mobile app with prefilled text.

Method 2: Use Web WhatsApp Link

Alternatively, if you are using a desktop browser and you are already connected to web WhatsApp, you can use the following format to trigger sending a message to an unknown number directly in web WhatsApp.

https://web.whatsapp.com/send/?phone=<number>&text=<message>

If you open this link in your web browser after replacing the number and message with the appropriate values, it will open a new chat with prefilled text.

Method 3: Use Free Online Tool

If you think the above methods are too much work, you can simply open this WhatsApp Clik-to-Chat Tool, which is 100% free.

Simply enter your mobile number and message, click send, and it will open a new chat in your web WhatsApp or mobile WhatsApp based on which device you are using it.

Bookmark that tool in your mobile or web browser for future use.
