How to send WhatsApp messages to an unsaved number?

I. Using iOS shortcut

  • Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone
  • Tap the + button
  • Click on Search for apps and actions
  • Get the Send Message via WhatsApp action
  • Choose Optional next to Recipient
  • Click on Ask Each Time
  • Set a name for the shortcut and change the icon
  • Click on X to save it
  • Click on the shortcut tile and select Choose Recipient
  • Punch in the phone number and choose Done
  • WhatsApp chat window will open enabling you to send message

II. Force WhatsApp to let you send messages to an unsaved contact

  • Open Settings on your iPhone
  • Click on WhatsApp
  • Toggle off Contacts
  • Open WhatsApp and click on the compose icon on the top right
  • Enter the phone number of the person you want to message and start chatting

Note that, the above option works when you have revoked WhatsApp’s access to your address book. Thus, it would not display your contacts with a WhatsApp account. It will simply show you a box to enter a phone number to start chatting.

If you do not give access to WhastApp, you would be able to see people’s status updates or stories and will also face difficulty in contacting people on your address book. Thus, once you are done sending messages to an unsaved contact, turn the toggle switch on for Contacts.
