A feature long awaited by users of Whatsapp was finally released by the platform. Now, people have the ability to start a conversation with an unknown number, eliminating the need to save the contact in the calendar before starting the subject.
The feature was made available for both Android and iOS. The objective is to simplify the exchange of messages through the application, making the process of starting a chat more practical, faster and safer.

Feature brings comfort and safety
It’s not news to anyone that WhatsApp has made people’s daily lives easier. Currently, the application is used for both personal and professional purposes. Therefore, in many situations, it is used on a temporary basis, eliminating the need to save certain contacts.
This update is seen by many as a reinforcement of security and, above all, the privacy of users. By no longer needing to save a contact on your cell phone, you avoid exposing your profile photo and status posts to an unknown person.
Learn how to call the contact without saving the number
The update is not yet available for all devices, but you can check if it is available to you by trying to start a conversation.
If the contact is not saved in your list, the application will search for users outside of it and indicate these numbers with the following message: “Not in your contact list”.
The new feature is being made available in the stable version of the application. It is believed that it will arrive on all devices in the coming weeks.
This is just one of the new things coming. WhatsApp will receive animated avatars from Instagram and Facebook. In addition to being able to separate your conversations between personal and work categories.
Security and privacy have been a priority
WhatsApp has been working to strengthen security on its application. In addition to this feature, others have already been launched and can now be tested by users. Among the main updates is the possibility of blocking calls from unknown numbers.
Another function that caught our attention was asking the application to send a message when someone takes a screenshot of the conversation with you. All of this has been designed to reinforce the security of the application and keep it just as something practical for exchanging messages, making users’ daily lives easier.
So, what do you think of WhatsApp’s new features?
