Sometimes, you must send a quick message on WhatsApp without adding the number to your contacts. Whether you’re messaging a delivery person, a shop, or a new client, WhatsApp has several ways to start a chat without saving the number.

Below are four simple methods you can use:

The simplest way is to scan the other person’s WhatsApp QR code. Every WhatsApp user has a unique QR code available in their settings

Steps to Use:

• Open WhatsApp on your phone.
• Tap the green “+” button at the bottom right
• You’ll see a QR icon near the “New Contact” option. Tap it.
• Now scan the recipient’s WhatsApp QR code
• You’ll be taken directly to their chat window. Start messaging without saving the number!

This is useful when you meet someone in person or see a QR code at a business location like a cafe or store.

If you don’t have the recipient’s QR code, this trick works well:

Steps to Follow:

• Open WhatsApp.
• In the search bar, type “You” and open your chat.
• Type the phone number (with country code) in the message box.
• Tap the number you typed.
• You’ll see an option like “Chat with” — tap it.
• It will quickly open a chat with that number.

It’s a handy method for quick, one-time conversations.

WhatsApp’s official Click to Chat feature lets you start a chat using a simple link — no app or contact saving required.

How to Do It:

• Use this link format: https://wa.me/<number>
  (Replace <number> with the full number, including country code — no symbols or spaces.)
• Example: https://wa.me/919******210
• Put this link in your browser and press Enter
• Tap “Continue to Chat”, and WhatsApp will open the conversation.

Great for businesses and websites to connect with customers directly!

Some third-party apps like Truecaller, Easy Message, or Direct Chat offer WhatsApp messaging features without saving numbers.

How It Works:

• Open the app and type the phone number.
• If the number has WhatsApp, you’ll see a WhatsApp icon.
• Tap it and start chatting instantly.

⚠️ Note: If you don’t already use these apps, it’s better to stick with the official methods above for privacy and security.

You don’t need to crowd your contact list for short, one-time WhatsApp conversations. Whether using a QR code, your chat, Click to Chat, or third-party apps, you now have multiple ways to message someone on WhatsApp without saving their number.
