2] Using third-party applications
Many users don’t seek the help of third-party applications and for obvious reasons. But, the applications mentioned here come handy when we need them the most. If you are an Android user then you can use the following applications but if you are an iOS user the applications for your devices are discontinued. But, there is still a way for iOS users mentioned below.
Click to Chat is an easy to use and free application available on Play Store.
The good thing about this application is that it is very small in size and doesn’t display any ads. Just enter a mobile number with country code in the application. It will launch WhatsApp and navigate you to the contact’s chat window.
Just like Click to Chat, Easy Message is also an ad-free application. 
It allows you to send WhatsApp message to a number without saving it. Enter the contact number and you will be redirected to the contact’s chat window.
For iOS users, you can use the below steps to send a WhatsApp message without saving the contact. This method uses Siri Shortcuts, an application made specially by Apple. It works on devices running iOS version 12 or above.
- Download Siri Shortcuts.
- Open the app, tap on the Gallery tab on the bottom right. Add shortcuts as you like, and run it once.
Note: You need to follow steps 1 and 2 if you have never used Siri Shortcuts before. - Now, go to Settings > Shortcuts > enable Allow Untrusted Shortcuts.
- Open this link on your iPhone and click the Get Shortcut button to download it.
- Once redirected to the Shortcuts app, tap on Add Untrusted Shortcut.
- Now, look for the WhatsApp to Non Contact shortcut in the My Shortcuts tab. You can either run it from here or tap the three dots icon at the top of the shortcut > then tap Add to Home Screen to create a quick launch shortcut on the home screen.
- Once you run this, enter the recipient’s number along with the country code. You’ll be redirected to WhatsApp with a new message window open.
