WhatsApp is widely used in Indonesia by smartphone users to send and receive messages, whether it is individuals, businesses, or SMEs.
There are times when we want to send messages to people we don’t know. For example, when we want to inquire about the availability of a product from an online shop.
Usually, we would need to save the online shop’s phone number first before we can send them a message on WhatsApp. However, did you know that now you can also send messages to someone’s WhatsApp number without saving it in your contacts?

How to Send WhatsApp Messages Without Saving the Recipient’s Number
The first thing you need to do is open Google Chrome, Firefox, or any browser you regularly use. Then, copy and paste this URL: https://wa.me/+628988000000 (replace the number I highlighted in bold with the recipient’s number).
Make sure the number is registered on WhatsApp. If not, WhatsApp will not be able to send messages to that number. Also, remember that the number must start with +62, not 0.
After that, your browser will display a page like the one below. Then, click on the Continue to Chat button.
You will then be directed to a conversation with the number you wanted. And of course, you do not need to save the phone number, you can immediately send a chat to that number.
