Sending Whatsapp messages to non-contacts - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there a way to send a whatsapp message in the same way I dial a number for a phone call or for an SMS text?
I type the number —> send message in Whatsapp.
So far the only way I know is to add the number to the contacts, and can’t find a way online to do what I want.
I volunteer as a translator for a charity and I need to message in Whatsapp to multiple numbers each day, and that’s a real pain.

I haven't used it, but the tin says you can

Thanks a lot, sir, that’s really appreciated! I’ve just installed it and I’ll test it soon.

You are welcome. Can someone suggest an Xposed module for the same purpose?

Just FYI, I tested Click2Chat WhatsApp (by MTechViral). Works perfectly. You compose the message in Click2Chat, and it uses WhatsApp to send the message to the mobile number (not in your contact list).
I would still prefer not to have a separate app for the purpose though. Maybe an Xposed module which will introduce a compose message button in the WhatsApp UI itself like XInsta adds a "Download" option in the context menu in Instagram.

Yes, you can do so.
I have noticed another App that does this much better Message Any Number for WhatsApp.
I have just tested this app and started loving this tiny app, as it gives me freedom to send whatsapp to anyone without saving his or her number.

https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=919414087809

Here is your answer
Yes you can send messages to non-contacts. Here is the procedure
At first, you need to Install an app named as “WhatsDirect”, freely available on Google Play Store. The direct download link is given below tap on the app icon to download.
After installation, accept the app permissions and continue by swiping the startup tutorial.
On the home screen of the app, we see two options – Mobile No. & Message Content. (Must use your country code on the starting of the number).
Enter the mobile number and write the message content in the below box and tap on “Send Message”.
I found this on YTECHB website

I have developed a similar app. It also supports WhatsApp for Business app. https://goo.gl/w4kNnD

WhatsApp has an official API to open the chat screen using the mobile number.
The best part of the API is, you can use it to send messages to unsaved contacts.
WA Direct Chat app on Play store is doing the same, you can download the app here

That’s just a dumb suggestion. For a single chat of a few minutes I would pollute my contact list with a gazillion of unknown contacts.
If you read the first post of this thread, and not just its title, perhaps you would know that
“I volunteer as a translator for a charity and I need to message in Whatsapp to multiple numbers each day, and that’s a real pain.”
Thanks to all the others, I’ve never received a notifications of your replies!

Hi, As I am an active user of Whatsapp and I have used this app to send the images and videos. But if you want to send msg to any number which is not in your contact then you can use click2chat which is available on the internet. It will help you to send the message.

Asked Google but did not find an answer. Therefore, I have to ask here.
My wife told me the following story:
-she's got a WhatsApp group of 4 contacts on her smartphone;
- she is the admin, the ONLY admin;
- at some point the 5th participant appears in the group and starts sending spam; she has this contact in her phone, but she swears by God that she did not add him to the group.
Questions:
- Has anyone met a similar "hack"?
- Is it possible to look at some logs, when and HOW the "extra participant" was added/invited to the group?
Thank you in advance for your help !! %)))

Try this easy way. Open this website on your mobile https://jpsays.com/wau
It is a secured website for mobiles. No need to login. No need to install any app.
just type the mobile number and the message you want to send.
and don't worry. It's safe and doesn't require any special permission like any app installed.
It works with iPhone and Android Phones as long as you have installed Whatsapp Messenger

When will Android have Group text(SMS)?

[Not a rant.]
Just wondering if anyone has any clues to when Android will have Group text?

The iPhone and BB have great group messaging abilities. How come Android hasn't done it yet?
I've been using group text on the native text app. If you get a group text click in the reply box then go to settings and click reply all.
You just have to make sure you select reply all for each response. Been working great for me.
Not sure if this is an android thing but probably sense.
Eta: This may only work for mms. I haven't got a group sms to test. But this method works with iphoners.

I believe you're talking about how iphone users send group texts via group mms. The native android app doesn't do it very well and messes up the threads in your inbox.
Handcent, gosms, and Verizon messaging app supports it.
I use Handcent. Go to settings and make it default for messaging. Then scroll to bottom and select threading of messages. It works beautifully.

Beluga does this well, as well.
Beluga was bought out by Facebook.
Third party cross platform apps that do this better are Google messenger (also includes group video), groupme, whatsapp, Facebook messenger.

But this didn't work.
However, Go SMS allows you to do it though. Now you can stay in a group, even with iPhone users. You'll appear in their group as well.
Each text is MMS though.
GroupMe is a great app for that or you can just add them one by one in the initial text.

I haven't tried this but I am able to go into the native text app and type the group name and it will come up.... So it should work.

no it's the discussion when you're involved with a group mms that originated elsewhere such as somebody's iphone. it gets all messed up if you do not hit reply all or use another app like go sms or handcent

Hi there,
I am the developper of the Android application called "Group SMS" (please look for the following keywords on the play store to reach my application : Group SMS Tur Han )
This application allows you to send personalized SMS to a group of people very easily.
★ How to ★
1. Write your message from "Group SMS" with special keywords
2. select your recipients
3. "Group SMS" will change these special keywords with the Firstname or Lastname of your recipient => the message becomes personalized
★ Example ★
▷ original message from Group SMS => "I wish you an Happy New Year dear [FIRSTNAME]"
▷ Brian will receive => "I wish you an Happy New Year dear Brian"
▷ Mariah will receive => "I wish you an Happy New Year dear Mariah"
▷ and so on... all done with a single sms writing
You can even create groups of contacts synced with your google account for quick sending.
All kind of feedbacks highly appreciated to improve the app. Thank you

Gosms and Handcent both have this function. I tried the group message feature on the stock messaging app, but the recipients are receiving an individual message from me instead of seeing everyone as a group.

With Group SMS, no one in the group see neither the others numbers nor the response from each other. Indeed, the SMS are sent one after the other (as they are personalized) making impossible to the group to know to whom you are sending your message.
Also, when someone receive a personalized SMS from Group SMS and reply to it, this person will only reply to the sender (which means you).
I hope these explanations are clear enough
Tur han, your app sounds like what I would call an sms "mail merge" or "bulk texting" rather than a two-way group chat sms like the op wants...
I have used reply all in the HTC Sense messaging app, and I too wish it would keep the replies from everyone in the same thread rather than confusing replies into individual threads.

Hi there,
I think we are facing 2 seperate needs which are incompatible.
Indeed, this app isn't designed to keep the same thread for a group texting. On the contrary, "Group SMS" is designed to let the user write a single SMS and each recepients of the group received an unique personalized message.
I haven't found any better name than "Group SMS" but I will have to think of changing it to maybe "bulk sms" instead ? Pending a better name, it will be known as "Group SMS" on the play store
Thank you for your feedback tmuka.
Or maybe a name like "sms broadcast"...
Google+
Google+ allows for a very easy to use and almost perfect "group chat" (along with Android's own group chat---what is this guy thiinking, no group chat??) by using the Hangout feature--only caveat is all users need to have access to Google+ either by mobile or PC browser... either way, works awesome and in real-time.

[Q] Group Text Messaging - Problems caused by iMessage

Ok. I apologize if this has been addressed and possibly even answered. I'm finding inconsistent responses on various boards and I've found this is usually the best place for the right response.
I have quite a few friends that use iPhones.
Those same friends love to send group text messages - which I assume stay as grouped messages for anyone with an iPhone.
PLEASE tell me there is a way I can pull this off on my Galaxy? A setting I'm missing perhaps?
I've tried the stock text app.
I've tried GO SMS PRO.
I've tried Handcent SMS.
I can't get any of them to help with this.
Am I missing a setting in one of these apps that can pull this off?
I also find lately that the I have to click a "download" button on the text that comes in. I don't know if this is a function of it coming in as a MMS?
Any insighte would be greatly appreciated.
I searched on this very same topic this morning and from what I read, this isn't native functionality on Android. I've been using an iPhone since the 3G and this is my first Android phone and the fact that this isn't core functionality is really amazing. For all the great things I love about the Galaxy S3, to not have the ability to group texts sent to multiple recipients and follow a conversation in a group is a BIG let down.
I thought I read in some threads that Handcent has some way to accommodate this feature, but it is buggy? Does anyone have any insight on this?

I read the same thing, but I've been unable to get it to work at all.
You can do it with the latest version of handcent but its kind of buggy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1559824
I also believe the native messaging app on the Droid Bionic does it, but I'm not sure how it works.

It is possible, and works pretty effectively.
One thing first, your having to press 'download' has to do with an option in your messaging app labeled 'MMS Auto-Retrieval' or something similar. Check that option and it will download all MMS together.
Anyway on to the part you want. I haven't used handcent's feature but GO SMS does this feature quite well.
1. Go into Settings
2. Go to the Advanced tab
3. Select the 'Sent Settings' option
4. Check the option for 'MMS Group Chat'

5. You can now group chat with iOS users. Whenever you send a group chat it will default to this setting and all iOS / GO SMS users will see it as one groupchat window. The same goes for when iOS users send you a message as part of a group chat. The only thing is...each message will always come as an MMS. It initially gets added as a new text from the person it came from, then it gets 'redirected' into the group chat conversation thats already open. Its not native...but it works.
hope this helped.
I use handcent for this and it works quite well for me.
1. Download Handcent SMS from Google Play
2. In "Application Settings" click "Default Messenging Application"
3. At the very bottom of "Application Settings", click "Thread group conversation"
4. Go into "Receive message settings" and click "Auto Download"
It is not quite as refined as iMessage but works nearly perfectly for me. Messages go through the individual sender before being sent to the group text and sometimes get stuck for a minute, for instance.
Good luck
I can't get it work with GO SMS pro. It appears to send them properly but they're always received in the individual contacts and don't copy over. This results in a very confusing series of conversations.
Going to give Handcent a try for a while and see how it goes. Thanks for the helpful feedback and how-tos

coming from an iphone i can say it's definitely not as good of an experience as imessage, but it's the best the android can do right now.

Thanks for this guide. I was able to get this working using GO SMS.
It's quite disappointing that I can no longer take advantage of the automatic calling when you lift the phone to your face that is built in to the G3 - but I seem to be the only person that liked it anyways.

Then that person is not replying to all. If you have the above setting checked it works great in GOSMS
stock messaging
yeah, I miss that feature too actually. However one thing that really ticked me off was how the stock app turned the screen on for EVERY single text message. Rather annoying. Aside from the group messaging, i think the screen off option vs hold to face calling was a fair trade off. (i know there are roms that disable that feature for the stock messaging app)

Yes, if the people you are chatting with don't have a form of iMessage / GOSMS / Handcent, then they will only be replying to you and messing up entire thread, haha.
Just think, thats what you were doing before you used gosms/handcent
So I gave Handcent a shot (with the settings provided in this thread) and didn't have any luck. A friend of mine sent out a message yesterday to me and a number of others and every person that responded to the message was a separate text message sent to my phone. I downloaded GO SMS Pro this morning in hopes that I have better luck with this app. It still floors me that this isn't native functionality on the Android platform.
FYI if you are coming from an iPhone and used iMessage before, you have to go into your apple support profile and unregister your idevice. Otherwise some messages - particularly group messages get lost.

Stock messaging app not displaying text messages

So I don't know if it's just me, but I noticed lately that my stock messaging app doesn't display all my text messages. For example, twice today someone sent me a message, and twice they were wondering why I never replied. I do have my sprint number set as my Google voice number, but I hardly ever use the google voice app to send text messages. Oddly enough, all my messages are displayed in my Google voice app, so I did receive them. Does anyone have am idea why the stock messaging app just doesn't display some messages?
Your going to have to uninstall and deactivate your Google voice. For some reason, no matter what setting you have Google voice, it will intercept all your calls and text.
I had to deactivate my Google voice account and wait the recommended 15 minutes. Reboot your phone and you should be fine.

You can still keep using Voice for voicemail while having text messages get handled by Sprint. Here's how:
First, deactivate Google Voice so we can start from scratch: Voice > Settings > Sign Out

Reboot (this is important). This should allow you to already have text messages working but to also have voicemail working in perfect harmony, do this:
Open up Google Voice again but follow my instructions for activating it. In the first screen hit skip NOT next. Next will activate Voice with full settings -- we don't want that:
Select your account and hit sign in. Hit Next and select how you want it to handle international calls (I chose mine to ask me every time). Hit Next and touch the 'dial *284066466449' button and wait for it to go through. Then go back and hit configure, select Google Voice.
To verify that you did it right, your Google Voice account (if you go into it with your browser -- voice.google.com) should look like mine:
Notice there is no 'text messages' or anything like that on the left hand side or tabs. If that doesn't work let me know and I'll look into it more. I had this issue before and it was annoying. Couldn't find a solution until I messed with it myself.
EDIT: After re-setting up Voice (had to disable it for screenshots ) I noticed that it now has a setting to allow messaging app to deal with texts. Settings> Notifications> Receive text messages through messaging app.
I can't vouch for that method, however.
It's not Google voice. It's the Evo. I don't have Google voice and I don't receive texts from at least three differ people. I been pissed about it for days. I'm about to download a messaging app and see if that help

In his case it is Google Voice (probably, since they do show up in Voice). With you, I would recommend profile update but if you already did that, early on some people were having issues with phone going into roaming and getting texts late or not at all. Re provisioning the phone fixed it.

[Q] Android is 5 years old and still can't do group texting appropriately...

Seriously, this really infuriates me.
I have to regularly send text messages to 30 people. Sometimes they are up to 3 messages long, that's 90 messages. This should not be a problem.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 with the latest CyanogenMod.
- First, Android seems to have a 100 messages per hour hard limit. Still, if my messages are max 3 texts long, this should not be a problem.
- The native Messaging app, nor Google's Hangouts have the option to text a contact group.
- When I enter all recipients manually in Hangouts, it keeps erroring. I'm fortunate to have noticed that DeskSMS can show me which messages got though. Usually around half of them. I them manually select the others and retry. (The built-in retry option retries to send to everyone and so it can take hours and multiple retries before everyone received the message at least once.)
- There are specific apps in the Play Store for Group Messaging. I tried several ones:
- [Group SMS & Scheduler](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.baole.app.groupsmsad2) - This app used to work on my HTC Desire, but fails for my S4. It just sends some random messages (last time I checked it broke the multipart sms up in parts) and sends some random parts to maybe 5 people. Absolutely worthless.
- [Groep SMS](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobappli.groupsms) - This app just does nothing when I tried it last time. It also feels quite weird so I didn't try it again.
- I also tried to use replacement texting apps like Go SMS or Handcent, but they don't work if you don't configure them as the default text messaging app. I'd like to stick to Hangouts if possible.
- Lastly, whatever option I tried, something I always get is 5-10 popups telling me that "App X" is sending a lot of messages and if I want to allow it to continue. I'm suspect that this messages may cause group texting apps to fail because they just try all messages sequentially and don't place them in a queue or something. Once one of them fails because I have to confirm it, all other after it may fail as well.
Google really sucks at providing a good user experience. They always come with "innovative and shiny" new features no-one needs, but fail to provide a good experience for the core functionality of their (Android) products.
Is there anyone that knows a solution for my situation? It would be much appreciated!

CyanogenMod has an option to increase the SMS limit, at least CM10.2 does, I believe they ported it to CM11 as well. You can look into Settings - Security - SMS message limit (near the bottom).
If it is not there, you can try this.

The native CyanogenMod Messaging app does have the option. When you write a new message, press the + sign to the right of the contact input option, and from there you can add contact groups. See the attached image.

Love it. I even uninstall the other ones I had
One thing , I never get that screen when I'm calling. It stay on the dialer.

Open the app on your phone and check "Autostart..."
Then a window will appear
Installed. But just dont show or anything.
How to make it work??
Just installed and working great (after selecting autostart and restarting the phone)... Some improvements can be done on the interface but so far working as expected! Great job buddy
Works like a charm, thx m8 !
This is my 2nd favorite app right behind Wear Messenger. Thank you Dev!
Tanks for the app! Gonna test it a few days and donate something if I keep using it besides all the other apps I'm testing atm
The app keeps crashing when someone calls me :/
Which version you use?
What model phone?
The error appears on watch or on phone?
Version 1.11
NEXUS 5
Phone and watch
wow I just saw this and installed. Looking forward to using it and sending a donation in a few days. I wonder if it would be possible to have a tab for starred contacts as well.
hello,
Thank you very much for this application. It's great.
When a call is made ​​with a bluetooth headset, it's perfect. No need to take the phone out of his pocket, by cons when it falls on a voice server, is it possible to manage the keyboard on the watch to select a choice by offering the voice server? Driving the keyboard option when a call is done manually from the phone

It works quite well in LG G watch paired to LG G3 but the call log only shows the telephone numbers and not the names of the contacts .
Thanx for your job :good:
Works fine with G watch and Xperia Z3.
Good work mate.

Hello!
I'm also needed a tab for starred contacts so I created my own app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.psksoft.watchphone
Regarding a voice menu and dial during a call - as far as I know it's not possible to send DTMF tones (at least on non-rooted phones) from third-party apps in current Android.

Hi, very interested if you ever got your app to send dtmf tones from watch.....my phone is rooted..... i want to buy your app
Why was the app removed from the play store? I wanted to reinstall it after it gave me an error on my watch. After uninstalling from phone and watch(wear 1.5) I still get the call notification. Can't get rid of it and don't feel like resetting my watch.
