Earlier, sending messages to unsaved phone numbers on WhatsApp required third-party apps and tricks. For instance, on Android, an app named "Wd2" lets you do this by simply opening the app, entering the number, and hitting send. The app uses WhatsApp's click-to-chat API which is usually deployed on websites and other apps to direct their users to WhatsApp.

But that is no longer necessary now with the latest WhatsApp update.

How To Send WhatsApp Messages To Unsaved Numbers

Sending a WhatsApp message to unsaved or unknown phone numbers is now a breeze. Here's how to do it:

• Update to the latest version of WhatsApp on your iPhone or Android smartphone.
• Open WhatsApp and tap on the "+" button to start a new chat.
• Now, tap on the search button on the top bar.
• Enter the phone number you want to send a message to.
• Tap on the "Chat" button in the search result.

Note that the phone number you want to send a WhatsApp message to should be registered on the app.
