WhatsApp is working on yet another feature that allows people to contact those whose phone numbers you haven’t saved on your smartphone. Now, when you receive an unsaved phone number in a chat, you will be able to drop a message to that person. WhatsApp will also give one more option to connect and that will be the calling feature. It will redirect you to the dialer app, if you choose to call that person.
Of course, there will also be an option to save the phone number to your address book. But, the option to call and directly message is new. In case the phone number is not on WhatsApp, then the messaging app will give you the option to call or add the number to your device.
