WhatsApp is adding one of the most requested features for users who don’t like saving every phone number to their Contacts app. As spotted by WABetaInfo, WhatsApp is rolling out the ability to send a message to someone without doing that.
For example, imagine you are online dating and decide to move from Tinder, Hinge, or Bumble to WhatsApp. Previously, you’d need to add that person’s phone number to your Contacts app before you could send them a message. Now, you can just copy and paste their phone number on “Start new chat” and actually start a new chat in the app.
