How to create a conversation link
It is also possible to start a conversation with people who are not in your phonebook through the versions of WhatsApp Web or WhatsApp Desktop. You will need to create a link to start a conversation on WhatsApp. The feature requires a browser and also works on mobile.
To do this, you need to copy and paste the link “https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=” into your browser. After the = sign, include the number with the DDI, DDD and phone number. From there, you can share the link and it will work.
One solution to avoid giving out your number on the first contact is to use link shorteners after creating the WhatsApp link. However, when the person starts chatting with you, they will be able to see your number on your profile.
You can also remove the last seen on WhatsApp through the app's privacy settings, as well as hide the read receipt from everyone or just from those who are not in your contacts. This can be done through the app's privacy settings.
Change
WhatsApp has planned to revolutionize the app's usage by eliminating phone numbers and introducing unique usernames, just like Instagram. If this change actually happens, it could redefine the way users connect and communicate within the platform.
This will allow users to create a unique username that they will associate with their account on the app. This will allow anyone to contact anyone using just their username, without having to share phone numbers.
The proposal ensures that each name will be unique and cannot be shared by different users. The release date for the update has not yet been announced, but the prospect of adopting the innovation could transform the way users interact within WhatsApp.
