You can send WhatsApp messages without saving the number by using several methods:
- Using WhatsApp's Click to Chat feature : Open your browser and enter the URL format
https://wa.me/followed by the full phone number with country code but without the plus sign. For example,https://wa.me/11234567890. This opens a chat window with that number in WhatsApp without saving it

- Using Google Assistant (Android) : Say "Send a WhatsApp to +[country code][number]" and dictate your message. Google Assistant will send it without needing to save the number
- Using iOS Shortcuts app : Install a shortcut like "WhatsApp Unsaved Number" that prompts you to enter a phone number and opens WhatsApp chat directly
- Through WhatsApp groups : If the person is in a group with you, tap their number in the group info and select "Message" to chat without saving
- Third-party apps like Truecaller or Easy Message : These apps let you send WhatsApp messages to unsaved numbers by providing direct chat options
