How to Send WhatsApp Messages Without Saving the Number – 4 Easy Ways

WhatsApp is the most popular instant messaging app, allowing users to send texts, media, and even transfer money. However, there are times when you need to send a one-time message to someone but don’t want to save their number.

Saving a number means the person can see your profile photo, status updates, and last seen, which can compromise your privacy. Thankfully, WhatsApp provides several ways to send messages without saving a contact. Let’s explore the four easiest methods to do this.

1. Send a Message via Self-Chat

The simplest way is to send the number to yourself in a WhatsApp chat and then start a conversation.

Steps to Follow:

1. Open WhatsApp and start a chat with yourself (or use any existing chat).
2. Type the number of the person you want to message and send it.
3. Tap the number, and WhatsApp will show an option for New Chat.
4. Click on New Chat, and you can start messaging them without saving the contact.

This method is quick and does not require any third-party apps.

2. Use a Web Link to Open WhatsApp Chat

Another easy method is to use a direct WhatsApp link that allows you to start a chat instantly.

Steps to Follow:

1. Open any web browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, etc.).

2. Type the following link in the address bar:

   https://wa.me/[PhoneNumber]

   Example: If the person’s number is 9876543210 (India), you need to type:

   https://wa.me/919876543210

3. Press Enter, and a WhatsApp chat window will open.

4. Tap Continue to Chat and start messaging.

This method is useful for businesses or when messaging someone for a short time.

3. Use Truecaller to Start a WhatsApp Chat

Truecaller, a popular caller ID app, also allows users to send WhatsApp messages without saving contacts.

Steps to Follow:

1. Open Truecaller and search for the number you want to message.
2. If the number is registered on WhatsApp, you’ll see a WhatsApp icon next to it.
3. Tap the WhatsApp icon, and a chat window will open.
4. Start messaging directly without saving the number.

This method is ideal if you receive calls from unknown numbers and want to message them first before saving the contact.

4. Send Messages Using Google Assistant or Siri

You can also use voice commands to send WhatsApp messages hands-free.

For Android (Google Assistant):

1. Say "Hey Google" or long-press the home button to activate Google Assistant.
2. Say "Send a WhatsApp message to [Phone Number]".
3. Google Assistant will confirm the number and ask for your message.
4. Speak your message, and Google will send it automatically.

For iPhone (Siri):

1. Activate Siri by saying "Hey Siri" or pressing the Side Button.
2. Say "Send a WhatsApp message to [Phone Number]".
3. Dictate the message, and Siri will send it.

This method is helpful while driving or when you can't type manually.
