Chat with people on WhatsApp if you haven't saved their number or don't want to save it? Yes that works. Individually or in group chats.

WhatsApp: Click-to-Chat and group invitations – The most important thing to start with: 

Using click-to-chat and group invite links, it's possible to chat with people whose phone number you don't have saved in your contacts.

Click to chat

WhatsApp does not allow you to send a message to a cell phone number that you do not have saved in your phone contacts. You can use the click-to-chat feature for this.

Of course, you have to know the person's phone number. If they have a WhatsApp account, you can create a link with which you can start the chat. Click-to-Chat works just as well on mobile phones as it does on the desktop version WhatsApp Web.

Create click-to-chat link

The link to start such a chat is designed as follows: https://wa.me/nummer
Instead of “number”, the person’s telephone number must of course be entered here. In international format, but without brackets, spaces, hyphens, plus signs or leading zeros:

https://wa.me/49xxxxxxxx

If you click on this link, the chat will automatically open in WhatsApp.

Add more participants to group chat

There is also a similar option for group chats. Of course, as an administrator of a WhatsApp group, you can add additional participants from your contacts to the group via the “group info”. The “group info” can be accessed from the group chat by tapping on the three dots at the top right.

But how do you add people whose phone number you don't have to a group chat? There are invitation links in groups for this.

Group chat invitation links

Here too, open the “Group Info” from the respective group and select “Invite with link”.
If you tap on this option, you can copy the link, send it directly via WhatsApp or share it and then choose where you want to do this.

But be careful! An invitation link to a WhatsApp group chat should not be carelessly shared or made publicly available if this is not intended. You should therefore also inform group members not to post such a link publicly or spread it online in a comment.

One should be aware that everyone who is in the group can see the phone numbers of all participants.
