How to chat with someone on WhatsApp without adding contact



WhatsApp is by far one of the most popular messaging applications with over 1.5 billion active users around the world. It is best used for fast and easy communication.

It is as simple as just saving the person’s number and that’s all. However, there are times you just want to chat with a person for a couple of hours and never again but you have to save the number before you can message the person, this could be somewhat annoying as you would have to go back and delete the number from your contact list after the conversation.

To resolve this issue, there is a WhatsApp API that allows you to send messages through WhatsApp without having to add the contact to your address book. 

The best thing about it is that you don’t have to download any third-party application or root your phone or any other kind of tweaks and it works for both Android and iOS.

Whatsapp To Let Users Message Without Their Phones

WhatsApp is testing a new feature that will let people message without using their phone for the first time. At present, WhatsApp is linked to a user’s phone. Its desktop and web apps need that device to be connected and receiving messages. But the new feature will let users send and receive messages “even if your phone battery is dead”. Up to four other devices – like PCs and tablets – can be used together, WhatsApp said. To begin with, the new feature will be rolled out as a beta test for a “small group of users”, and the team plans to improve performance and add features before enabling it for everyone.
