How to call WhatsApp on a new phone number if it is not in WhatsApp - in detail?
To successfully make a WhatsApp call to a new phone number that is not in your contacts, follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Ensure you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed on your device. Launch the application by tapping on its icon.
- Access Calls Tab: Once inside the WhatsApp interface, look for the 'Calls' tab at the bottom of the screen. This is where all your voice and video call history will be displayed. Tap on it to proceed.
- Initiate a New Call: In the Calls tab, you will see an option to make a new call. It is usually represented by a phone icon or a '+' symbol located at the top right corner of the screen. Click on this icon to start the process of making a new WhatsApp call.
- Enter the New Phone Number: A dialog box will appear prompting you to enter the phone number you wish to call. This is where you input the new phone number that is not saved in your contacts list. Make sure to include the country code if the number is international (e.g., +1 for the United States).
- Verify the Number: Double-check the entered phone number to ensure there are no typos or mistakes. Accuracy is crucial, as incorrect numbers will not receive your call.
- Select Call Type: After verifying the number, you will have the option to choose between a voice call and a video call. Tap on your preferred call type to proceed.
- Place the Call: Once you have selected the call type, WhatsApp will attempt to connect you with the recipient. If the recipient has an active internet connection and WhatsApp installed, they should receive your call notification.
- Wait for Response: The recipient will see your phone number or profile picture (if saved in their contacts) and can choose to accept or decline the call. If accepted, you will be connected immediately.
