Can you call someone on WhatsApp without adding them as your contact?
The official WhatsApp app doesn’t give the option to message a number. However, you can install the other mod versions, such as GbWhatsApp, that allow you to message a number. With this option, you can quickly call someone on WhatsApp without adding them as your contact. Also, if you access the WhatsApp web by adding someone’s number to the link, you will open your WhatsApp on the browser and can call someone without saving them to your contact.

Why Make a WhatsApp Call Without Saving Someone to Your Contact?
With WhatsApp, you can communicate with someone via text or initiate a voice or video call to them. WhatsApp is freely available on the App Store and Play Store. Furthermore, WhatsApp is free to use, and only an internet connection is needed to use WhatsApp. Once you register WhatsApp using your phone number, you can start using WhatsApp.
Anyone in your contacts who is on WhatsApp will be listed in your WhatsApp contacts, and you can easily message or call them. It’s also possible to call someone who is not in your contacts.
Different reasons exist why making a WhatsApp call to someone without saving their phone number is convenient.

Moreover, if you are using someone’s WhatsApp to call a given number, you can do so without saving their contact.
