In this article, we have discussed six different ways that you can use to message someone on WhatsApp without having to save their phone number first. These method range from easy solutions like messaging the number to yourself to quickly start chatting with it, to complex but working methods like creating a link, or using iPhone's shortcut app.

In this guide, we have discussed how you can share your current and live location on WhatsApp for Android and iOS versions of the app. To do this, you just have to go to the attachment folder, then select location and choose whether you want to share your current or live location. This can help you share your whereabouts with your loved one's if you feel you are in danger or when you are travelling all by yourself.

When you set up Two-step verification, WhatsApp will ask you for a code when you try to log in to their account. If you forget the PIN, you can recover the account using the email you used when setting up the feature.

Checking if someone's using your WhatsApp on another device is quite easy. You can do it using the primary device you used to link the other devices, and then checking the active sessions inside the Linked devices section. If you notice a suspicious device or activity, you can tap on it and select Log out to remove the device from your account. You can also set up Two-step verification and App lock, so this never happens again.

In this guide, we discuss how to add contacts directly from WhatsApp itself. You can add a contact from the new chat screen or scan their QR code. For Windows, you can enter a phone number to chat directly. This feature is best for one-time conversations, eliminating the need to save contacts.

We have outlined four methods to record WhatsApp calls on Android and iPhone. The first method includes screen recording to capture video calls but it won't include any audio. The second one is using a third party app on Android while the third one is via the Nothing Recorder app that is exclusively available on the Nothing devices. Lastly, you can use a Mac and iPhone to record a WhatsApp call as well but it is a tedious process.

To delete a WhatsApp contact, you need to use the Android or iOS mobile app instead of the web and desktop app. On Android, open the WhatsApp chat with the contact you want to delete -> tap contact name at the top -> three-dot icon -> view in address book -> three-dot icon in Phone app -> Delete. Meanwhile, on iOS, once you access the profile details of the WhatsApp contact through the profile bar -> tap on Edit -> Delete contact. Note that this deletes the contact from your phone's address book, and there's no way to directly delete the WhatsApp contact from the messaging service itself.
