How to start a WhatsApp chat with unknown contacts. WhatsApp recently rolled out a feature that will ease the process of starting a chat with other users, even when their number is not saved as a contact. The new functionality, available on both iOS and Android smartphones, will allow you to initiate a conversation with a stranger simply by entering their phone number in the app. Previously, users who did not want to start a chat with an unknown user without saving their number as a contact had to use various workarounds that were either bothersome or required the installation of another app.
