WhatsApp has become an integral part of our daily communication. Whether it’s personal chats or business chats, WhatsApp is everywhere. In my case, I utilize a simple hack to message anyone without even saving their contact number.

Here’s how you can do that as well, just follow these 3 simple steps given below:-

1. Open a web browser (make sure you have redirections/open links in apps enabled).

2. Navigate to wa.me<country code><WhatsApp number> by entering above query in url bar.

3. You will be redirected to “api.whatsapp.com”. Just click on the “CONTINUE TO CHAT/OPEN IN WHATSAPP/OPEN (popup)” option (depending on the browser) and voilà.

[ NOTE: DON’T USE “+” SIGN in country code, suppose you are messaging someone in India then just use country code i.e, 91 instead of +91. ]

Example:- wa.me/919876543210

Where,
91 is the country code without the + sign
9876543210 is the WhatsApp number.

This is a very handy WhatsApp API feature which is uncommon knowledge. Do share this with your friends and family.
