How do I make a WhatsApp call without creating a contact - in detail?

To make a WhatsApp call without creating a new contact, you can use the phone's dialer or the WhatsApp app itself with a few simple steps. Here’s how you can do it:

Using the Phone Dialer:

  1. Open your phone's dialer: This is the same application you use to make regular voice calls.
  2. Dial the international format of the number: If the person you are trying to call is in a different country, you need to dial the number in the international format. For example, if the person is in the US and their number is 123-456-7890, you would dial +1 123-456-7890.
  3. Add a prefix: Before the country code, add a '+' sign to indicate that it's an international call.
  4. Make the call: Once you have entered the number, tap on the call button. WhatsApp should automatically detect this and offer the option to make a WhatsApp call instead of a regular voice call.
  5. Switch to WhatsApp: If prompted, select 'WhatsApp' from the options that appear. This will initiate the call through WhatsApp without creating a new contact in your phone book.

Using the WhatsApp App:

  1. Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your device.
  2. Go to the 'Calls' tab: At the bottom of the screen, you will see several tabs including 'Camera', 'Chats', 'Status', and 'Calls'. Tap on 'Calls'.
  3. Tap on the phone icon at the top right corner: This icon looks like a traditional telephone handset.
  4. Enter the number manually: A keypad will appear where you can enter the international format of the number as described earlier.
  5. Make the call: After entering the number, tap on the call button (usually represented by a green phone icon). This will directly initiate a WhatsApp call without saving the number in your contacts.

Tips:

  • International Format: Always use the international format for numbers to ensure that WhatsApp recognizes it as a valid contact number.
  • Permissions: Ensure that WhatsApp has permission to access your phone's dialer and contacts if needed.
  • Data Connection: Make sure you have an active internet connection, either via Wi-Fi or mobile data, for the call to go through.

By following these steps, you can easily make a WhatsApp call without the need to create a new contact on your phone.
