WhatsApp, the instant messaging platform has been an essential communication tool for billions of users all over the world. With more than 3.5 billion downloads, the app is widely used for instant messaging, voice calls and video calls. However, one common misconception among users is that WhatsApp calls can only be made to saved contacts.
But did you know that you can call someone on WhatsApp without saving their number? WhatsApp has introduced a new feature that allows users to dial and call any number directly, just like a traditional phone dialer.
If you often find yourself saving unnecessary numbers just to make a WhatsApp call, this new update will save you time and effort.
WhatsApp calling without saving a number: The new feature
WhatsApp continuously updates its platform to improve user experience. One of the latest additions is the ability to make calls without saving a contact.
Earlier, users had to go through the hassle of saving a number in contacts before making a WhatsApp call. Now, with this new feature, you can directly enter a number and make a voice call on WhatsApp—just like using your phone’s dialer.
This feature is particularly helpful for quick interactions, such as:
- Business inquiries where you only need to call once.
- Delivery or service-related calls without saving temporary contacts.
- Calling unknown numbers without cluttering your contact list.
