WhatsApp Now Allows Users Message Unsaved Contacts Without Saving Phone Number

WhatsApp undeniably stands as one of the most widely used messaging applications and for valid reasons. While it may not rapidly introduce new features, the Meta developers prioritize practical additions over a mix of forgettable features. Their latest update facilitates messaging unsaved contacts, a feature one would expect to be available long ago.

You Can Now Message Unsaved Contacts On WhatsApp Without Having To Save Their Phone Number

Though seemingly a basic feature, this addition proves incredibly helpful for dealing with unsaved contacts. To give you an example, a few days ago, when I ordered food, the delivery person had trouble locating me and requested I share my location on WhatsApp. But I had to add their number to my contacts before sending the location. With this new feature, searching the number is all it takes for it to pop up, making the process far more convenient.

With the introduction of this new feature, Whatsapp makes it possible to simply search for the number that you want to message without having to first save it on your device. During search, the messaging app automatically begins searching for that contact outside of your contacts list that you have already saved.

Thankfully, this feature isn’t limited to WhatsApp’s beta version. To use it, ensure you have the latest app version on either Android or iOS. I tested it on my Nothing Phone 2, and it worked seamlessly as intended. Next time you wish to message someone, you won’t need to save their contact, message them, and then delete the contact afterward.

Although a seemingly minor change, this enhancement significantly enhances convenience for numerous users, including myself. WhatsApp consistently works on adding new features, and we diligently keep track of all the updates. So, feel free to check back whenever you seek a specific feature, and we’ll promptly inform you once we identify it.
