How To Use WhatsApp’s “New Chat” Shortcut on Android

If you’re on Android, WhatsApp gives a small hidden shortcut. Here’s how:

• Open WhatsApp. 
• Tap the New Chat button.
• In some versions, you’ll see an option like Message a number or Send message to an unsaved number.
• Enter the number and then tap Open Chat. After that, simply tap done.

Apart from these, there is even another simple trick. If you use the Google Phone app, then simply head to the app, type the number you want to contact and then you’ll see a small WhatsApp icon next to the call button. Simply tap it, and the WhatsApp chat opens instantly. Many people don’t realise this shortcut exists – but it works great if you often message unknown numbers.

Even Your Siri or Google Assistant Can Make A Message!

Yes, your voice assistant can open a WhatsApp chat without saving the number. Try saying: 

• “Hey Siri, send a WhatsApp message to +91 XXXXX XXXXX.”
• “Ok Google, send a WhatsApp message to +91 XXXXX XXXXX.”

It will directly open a chat window so you can type or dictate your message.
