How to Use WhatsApp’s Click to Chat

Posted on July 1, 2020 by Judy Sanhz Leave a Comment

The people you talk to frequently are surely saved on your contacts apps. But, sometime you’ll need to talk to people you have no intention of adding to your contact list.

The link you create will create a chat window where you can talk to this person and that chat can take place on your device or WhatsApp web. There have been security concerns regarding this feature, but if you still want to use it, it should only take a memento to create the link.

How to Create Your Own Click to Chat URL

To create your temporary chat with that unknown number type in the address bar https://wa.me/<number>. In the number part add the phone number whether it’s international or not. When entering the number make sure to remove any zeros, dashes, brackets.

For example, when adding the number it should look something like this:

https: //wa.me/2xxxxxxxxx

It should not look like this:

https://wa.me/+001-(123)xxxxxxx

How to Create a WhatsApp Link With a Pre-filled Message

If you want your WhatsApp link to include a message, you’ll need to add some additional text. To add text will need to look like this:

https://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX?text=Readtechnipageshttps://wa.me/1XXXXXXXXXX?text=I'm%20interested%20in%20your%20car%20for%20sale

Conclusion

Talking to someone whose number you have no intention of saving is something most of us are going to have to do sooner or later.  What are your thoughts on using WhatsApp’s click to chat to do that? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
