------------------
[Note: being a free without ads nor purchases app the progress and updates are based on the reception and support from you. There is a donation version that you can buy to help the development: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trianguloy.openInWhatsapp.donation ]
[New: There is now a web version compatible with WhatsApp Web: https://trianguloy.github.io/OpenInWhatsapp_Web/ ]
Did you know you can open a chat in WhatsApp with any number without saving first into contacts by opening in your browser the link 'wa.me/123456789' (using the prefix+number desired)?

Originally that link was longer and more difficult to remember so I made this tiny app to help in the process.
Since then I have added multiple functionalities (enter message share link list of country codes create shortcut save recent and pinned open recent calls via add-on and a few more) but always with these three principles:
1) Make the smaller app possible. This means no extra unrelated content no extra libraries and no useless things. Currently its size is around 100KB=0.1MB. Less than a standard picture!
2) Use as few permissions as possible. Only the create_shortcut permission is used nothing else! (no calls no storage no internet).
3) No ads. I hate ads. I will never add ads adware spyware user tracking or other nasty stuff.
If you want a small tool to help you open numbers in WhatsApp try it. If you prefer an app that sends your data to Google there are clones out there.
