How to send a WhatsApp message to a phone number that is not saved in your contacts - in detail?

Sending a WhatsApp message to a phone number that is not saved in your contacts is a straightforward process. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you accomplish this task:

  1. Open WhatsApp: Start by opening the WhatsApp application on your mobile device or accessing it via WhatsApp Web if you prefer using a computer.
  2. Navigate to the Chats Screen: Once WhatsApp is open, go to the main 'Chats' screen where all your conversations are listed.
  3. Initiate a New Chat:

    • On an iPhone: Tap on the 'New Chat' icon at the top right corner of the screen, which looks like a pencil inside a square.
    • On an Android device: Tap on the three dots (vertical ellipsis) in the top right corner and select 'New chat'.
  4. Select 'New Contact': After tapping on 'New Chat', you will see an option labeled 'New contact' or something similar. Select this option to proceed.
  5. Enter the Phone Number: A new screen will appear where you can enter the phone number of the person you wish to message. Make sure to include the country code at the beginning of the number (e.g., +1 for the United States).
  6. Save Contact Information (Optional): You may be prompted to save the contact information with a name or any other details you might have about this person. This step is optional, and you can skip it if you prefer not to save the number in your contacts list.
  7. Send Your Message: Once you've entered the phone number, you will be taken to a new chat window where you can type your message. Compose your message as you normally would, and then tap 'Send'.
  8. Confirm Delivery: WhatsApp will notify you when your message has been delivered to the recipient. If they have read receipts enabled, you may also see when they have read your message.

By following these steps, you can easily send a WhatsApp message to any phone number, even if it is not saved in your contacts list.
