The owner of the social media and messaging platform WhatsApp has introduced a new feature with user-centric rights. Now, users can chat with unknown people without saving their number. This service can be used by users who have downloaded the updated version of WhatsApp. Previously, to chat with unknown numbers on WhatsApp, it was necessary to save the number in the contact list. This new service from WhatsApp will be very beneficial for users.
WhatsApp Introduces This New Feature
According to information from WABetaInfo, after this new feature from WhatsApp, users will be able to chat with unknown people without saving their numbers. However, users may face some challenges in chatting this way, as it may depend on the click-to-chat API. Chatting with unknown people on WhatsApp could be a little difficult due to this reason.
What is WhatsApp’s New Feature?
If you also want to find out whether this feature is available on your WhatsApp or not, you will first need to go to your contact list and search for the phone number. If you are an iOS user, you will need to tap on the “Start New Chat” option in the chat list. After that, you will have to enter the phone number of an unknown person in the search. If that number exists on WhatsApp, you can start chatting with them. As per the news in the media, this new feature of WhatsApp can prove to be quite advantageous for users. Currently, users had to save unknown numbers in their contact list to chat with them or to save phone numbers when receiving calls.
