You knew you could send WhatsApp messages to anyone who is not in your contact list? When you want to send something, you normally open the conversation, but in this case you have it saved in your calendar, but you can also send it to people who are not contacts.
This is especially useful when you're going to be sending a single message to a specific person you won't talk to again, or you just don't want to add to your agenda, but need to send them some kind of communication via WhatsApp quickly.
With this possibility you can send a message without having to add it to your phone's contact list, which makes the process faster and more comfortable since you can do it from a browser, from your mobile phone or from what you have on your computer.
through a website
Obviously you need to know the phone number and write a precise URL address in the browser so that a conversation window opens in WhatsApp and you can send the message, you just have to follow these steps:
- Open the browser of your mobile or PC and write the URL https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=xxxxxxxxx, where x is the phone number of the person you are about to contact in this way, even if before of you must enter the prefix 34 in case it is a number from Spain.
- After that, a WhatsApp window opens, you have to click on “continue chatting”, if you do it from a PC, WhatsApp Web or the desktop version will open to start the conversation, while if you do it from a mobile, when you click on this option the WhatsApp app opens, even if you don't have it in both cases you will have to download it.
And that's it, so you can send whatever you want in the chat, the contact's name will not appear because you have not stored it in your contact list, you will see the full phone number with the area code instead.
Following the previous example, it should be https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=34123456789, although you can also do the same if you use the address wa.me/xxxxxxxxx, putting the area code and then the number where the x is.
The truth is that it is a very simple and fast process and you save yourself having to add people you don't want to your agenda, especially if you just have to send them a WhatsApp message and you're not going to talk to that person anymore.
