WhatsApp’s Windows app has received an update the version 2.2342.6.0 through the Microsoft Store’s beta channel, according to WABetaInfo.
This update introduces a nifty feature! The ability to open chats with phone numbers you haven’t saved in your address book.
Previously, this was a perk exclusive to iOS and Android users. Now, Windows users can initiate conversations without the hassle of saving new or temporary contacts.
If you’re one of the fortunate beta testers who’ve snagged the latest update from the Microsoft Store, you can start using this feature right away. For everyone else, don’t worry, it’s expected to roll out more widely soon.
So, what does this mean for you? Well, the update allows you to kickstart chats with unknown phone numbers by simply entering the digits. You’ll find this feature in the “New chat” screen under the “Phone number” section.
It’s a handy improvement that simplifies connecting with people you haven’t saved in your contacts. No more digging around to find them; you can go straight into chatting.
This change isn’t just a matter of convenience; it’s about privacy too. You won’t have to clutter your address book with numbers you might not need long-term.
Keep your app updated to enjoy these new features and stay connected.
