Send WhatsApp WITHOUT scheduling, save contact

Normally, to send a WhatsApp message to someone you must first have their number registered in your mobile’s contact book. But in case that does not interest you because she is a person with whom you are only going to talk once, be it by messages, call or video call, there are several methods to communicate with her in these ways without having to save her number on your list of contacts.

The official method is with the help of a web browser and a special URL that WhatsApp has created for this purpose. A simplified way of this method are third-party applications that are based on it, practical in case you send WhatsApp in bulk to unknown numbers (for example if you have a business). Finally, based on that URL you can also send a WhatsApp to any number not added from a PC.

With Google Chrome and any browser

The URL that you must enter in the web browser of your device is the following:

wa.me/numero

Replace “number” with the contact’s number in international format. For example, if it is a person in Mexico with a cell phone 5511249482, you must enter 525511249482, where 52 is the country code for Mexico. Unlike how you add a contact in WhatsApp, here it is not necessary to put the symbol “+” (international access) before the number. Nor is 00 (direct international dialing) necessary.

If the number is correct, you will see the “Send Message” button and tapping on it will open a window to chat with that number on WhatsApp, make calls or video calls. If the number does not exist or is incorrect, you will see the notice “Incorrect link” or the WhatsApp window “The number does not exist”.

Alternative

Another URL that has exactly the same result, although much more complicated to remember than the previous one is api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=numero.

Third party apps

Easy Message: It offers you a simpler and faster way than the URLs indicated above. You just open the app, enter the number, and start chatting.

In its settings you can also activate the shortcut notification every time you copy a number, a function in the background that apparently uses little battery. If the notification does not appear, you may be copying a number that is already copied. Anyway, as an alternative, use the Android “Share” option and then “Copy to clipboard.”

In the tests I have done with this application, it has not even been necessary to use the format recommended by WhatsApp, that is, the “+”, country code and number. For numbers in my country, I have entered them as I usually do to call them and it has also worked for me.

Click to Chat is another very light and ad-free application. You enter the number and open a chat on WhatsApp. This has the option of adding a default message to the chat you open, useful in case of a business that always repeats a response for customers.

WhatsApp Messenger y Business

Using any of these methods you should be able to send messages to clients on WhatsApp Business. If you have both WhatsApp apps installed, the Android system will ask you which one you want to use to send the message.

Unfortunately, if you have a WhatsApp Dual installed, you will not have the option to send messages through it with the indicated URLs and applications. I have tried to change the “application links” of my WhatsApp Dual, as can be seen in the image above, but even then the system has not given me the option to choose it to send messages. In case you want to try this, the path is App Settings, Set as Default, Go to Supported URLs.

From the PC

To send without scheduling from the PC you need to download and install the WhatsApp desktop client, available for Windows and Mac OS. When you open the program, you must scan its QR code with the “WhatsApp Web” option on your phone’s WhatsApp to “activate” your account there.

Once this is done, in the PC browser enter the URL indicated at the beginning wa.me/numero. A pop-up window will open asking if you want to open WhatsApp. You must click on “Open WhatsApp”. The chat window will open in the desktop client you installed.

It is necessary that the WhatsApp program on the PC is closed For this to work. If it is open or minimized to the taskbar, the chat window will NOT open.
