Continuing to be the leading application in mobile communication for years, WhatsApp has fallen behind some of its competitors at some point today. The application does not offer any option for you to send a message to a person whose number you have not saved.
However, this situation started to change with the latest iOS and Android updates of WhatsApp. We will now have the opportunity to send a message to a number that you have not saved in your contacts.
The feature of sending a message to the new number coming to WhatsApp:
With the new feature, we will be able to write a number in the call section of the chat start window in WhatsApp and be able to contact this number directly. With each digit you enter, WhatsApp will continue to search for the number, and the WhatsApp profile of the number you entered will appear in front of you.
The update containing the feature is distributed to users piecemeal. Do not forget to check if there is a new update to access the feature, and if there is, install the application update.
This situation is not without its risks…
We know that data leaks occur frequently, especially in our country. Although the new feature of WhatsApp is actually useful, the number of messages that come from numbers we do not know many times a day, unfortunately, may increase even more.
Moreover, WhatsApp currently does not have a security option such as hiding your number from public call. We hope this feature arrives very soon.
