How to send a WhatsApp message to someone who is not in my contacts - in detail?
To send a WhatsApp message to someone who is not in your contacts, follow these detailed steps:
-
Save the Contact: First, you need to save the person's phone number as a contact on your device. This step ensures that WhatsApp can recognize and connect with the new contact.
- On an iPhone, go to the Contacts app, tap '+' at the top right corner, enter the person's name and phone number, then save it.
- On an Android device, open the Contacts app, tap the '+' icon, enter the person's name and phone number, and save it.
- Open WhatsApp: Once the contact is saved, open the WhatsApp application on your device.
-
Start a New Chat: To initiate a conversation with the new contact:
- On an iPhone, tap on the 'Chats' tab at the bottom of the screen, then tap the 'New Chat' icon (a pencil and paper) in the top right corner.
- On an Android device, tap on the three dots in the upper right corner to access the menu, then select 'New chat'.
- Select the Contact: WhatsApp will display a list of your contacts. Scroll through the list and select the contact you just added. If the contact is not visible, you can search for them by tapping on the search bar at the top and entering their name or phone number.
- Compose Your Message: After selecting the contact, you will be taken to a new chat window where you can type your message in the text box at the bottom of the screen.
- Send the Message: Once you have composed your message, tap on the send button (usually an arrow or a paper airplane icon) to deliver your message. The recipient will receive your message through WhatsApp, even if they are not in your contact list initially.
By following these steps, you can successfully send a WhatsApp message to someone who is not currently in your contacts.
