Tapping on an unsaved number sent to a chat will open an in-app menu that allows users to chat with the person while they are on WhatsApp.
WhatsApp is the most used instant messaging app all over the world. Many of us do most of our communication on WhatsApp these days and the company keeps bringing new features and updates to make that experience easier and more enjoyable. Now, WhatsApp is working on what could be a solution to one of the biggest problems with the instant messaging app. According to a report by WhatsApp tracker WABetaInfo, the company is working on allowing users to text numbers that are not saved on their smartphones.
WhatsApp Does not allow us to send messages to numbers that are not saved on our smartphones. However, WhatsApp beta for Android Version 2.22.8.11 shows that the company is working on a solution for this. The report reveals that tapping on an unsaved number sent to a chat will open an in-app menu that allows users to chat with that person if they are on WhatsApp. The in-app menu also allows users to make calls to these unsaved numbers and give the option to save the contact. Android Authority verified the report saying that the beta version they are running shows the said in-app menu.

Currently, tapping on a number sent to you on WhatsApp opens the phone’s dialer app. The new method, despite being a major change towards allowing you to send text messages to unsaved contacts, isn’t perfect yet. This will still require an unsaved number on your WhatsApp.
Meta-owned instant messaging platform was also recently reported to impose a new limit on message forwards. An upcoming feature has been revealed in both the Android and iOS beta versions of WhatsApp that will not let users forward a message to more than one group at a time. If a user tries to forward a previously forwarded message to another group, they will receive a warning that says “Forwarded messages can only be sent to one group chat.”
