WhatsApp is working on a new feature that will allow users to contact friends whose phone numbers they haven’t saved on their device. When you receive an unsaved phone number in a conversation, you can now send that individual a message. WhatsApp will also include a calling feature, which will give users yet another way to connect. If you choose to call that person, it will direct you to the dialer app.
Of course, you’ll be able to store the phone number to your address book as well. However, the ability to phone and send a direct message is a new feature. If the phone number isn’t already on WhatsApp, you’ll be given the choice to call or add the number to your device.
Currently, people need to go to this site http:/wa.me/phone number if they want to message an unsaved number on WhatsApp. There are times when you don’t want to save a number to contact an unknown person or service on WhatsApp. So, this is when you can use the above-mentioned link to contact an unsaved number on WhatsApp.
The new function was found in WhatsApp version 2.22.8.11. You will be able to utilise this feature if you are a beta tester. When this feature will be offered to users in the stable version is currently unknown. Because this feature is still in the testing phase, WaBetaInfo suggests that the corporation may opt to forego it in the future.
WhatsApp is also testing a feature that would allow users to share files up to 2GB in size, which will be a huge relief for people who rely on the network for file sharing. This feature has been discovered in latest iOS and Android beta versions. You can currently exchange up to 100MB of files with relatives and friends via the chat app.
