This app uses WhatsApp public 'click to chat' feature (described here: https://faq.whatsapp.com/en/android/26000030/) to open a chat with any number you enter (a chat between you and that number, it is NOT possible to spy other conversations).

No contact is created on the device, so you don't need to save the number on your contacts list in order to open the chat. Simply open the app, enter the number, click the button and the chat will open (if the number exists, otherwise WhatsApp will notify it).

Specially useful on situations like:

- An unkown number called you and you want to know if they have WhatsApp?

- You need to send a message to someone but you don't want to save it as a contact?

- You want to start a chat with yourself?

Just open the app and enter the number (with prefix).

Prefix:

You need to specify the prefix of the number, even if it is from your own country. You can enter the prefix manually or, if you don't remember the prefix of a specific country, you can tap the + button to show a list to choose from. The prefix will be kept when reopening the app.

Hidden shortcut: long tap the + button to show the list sorted by prefix instead of country.

Create links:

You can create an html link that, when clicked, will open WhatsApp on the specified number. This is a WhatsApp feature, so you don't need this app to open the link, only to create it.

You can also add a message that will be placed on the input box. It will NOT, I repeat, will NOT be sent. The user must press the send button manually.

If you specify a message but not a number WhatsApp will ask where to send it (again, will NOT be sent, only autocompleted).

You can save the link as a quick shortcut, share it so people can contact you (the number is visible on the link, be careful), set a predefined message on a site to 'share it on WhatsApp ', etc. Remember, you don't need this app to open the link, it is automatically handled by WhatsApp.

Hidden shortcut: long tap the 'share' button to quickly copy the link to the clipboard.

Recents list:

When a number is opened it is saved on a recents list, in case you want to open a number again and you don't remember the number. If you actively open a number remember you can create a shortcut on your launcher directly from WhatsApp (from the chat: menu, more, create shortcut).

Hidden shortcut: long tap the recents button to delete the list.

This is a tool app: simple and lightweight. No extra features, no extra size, no permissions, no ads...just the open-in-WhatsApp feature (with each update I add a little related feature, but I want to keep it as simple and lightweight as possible).
