How do you message someone on WhatsApp who is not in contacts?

Ugh, WhatsApp, right? You know that feeling? You really need to get a hold of someone, but they’re not even in your contacts. It’s like, the worst. Seriously, I remember this one time I was trying to get tickets to that Taylor Swift concert – you know, the one everyone’s freaking out about? – and the seller only gave me their WhatsApp number. Not in my phone? Total panic attack moment!

But then, phew! I found this amazing trick. It’s called – and I’m not making this up – the “click-to-chat” feature. Isn’t that clever? Basically, you just take their phone number, you know, the digits, and you slap it into this wa.me link thing. It’s like, wa.me/phonenumber, only replace “phonenumber” with, well, their number. It’s super straightforward, I promise.

I’ve used it a bunch of times since then. Like, for ordering pizza from that new place down the street. Their number was only on their website, and I wasn’t about to add them to my contacts for just one pizza. Total lifesaver! No more weird contact-adding shenanigans, no more awkward scrolling through my phone trying to remember if I maybe added them once and forgot. It just works. Pure magic, I tell ya. So, yeah, give that click-to-chat a try. You’ll thank me later!
