Now, when connecting to WhatsApp directly is not possible, you can stay connected around the world through a server set up by volunteers and organizations dedicated to helping others communicate freely.
How to use this feature?
Step 1: Go to WhatsApp Settings.
Step 2: Tap on Storage, then data and tap on Use Proxy.
Step 3: Enter the proxy address and Save to connect.
Step 4: A check mark will be displayed if the connection is successful
Step 5: If you are still unable to send or receive WhatsApp messages using a proxy, that proxy may have been blocked. Try again using a different proxy address.
Additionally, if you want to message someone on WhatsApp without saving their number in your phone's contact list, you can use the "click to chat" feature through an internet browser. This feature uses wa.me shortcut links to allow you to start a conversation with any active WhatsApp user.
Here are the steps:
1. Open a web browser on your device.
2. Go to the following web address: https://wa.me/phonenumber.
3. Replace "phonenumber" with the registered WhatsApp number you want to chat with, including the country code. For example: https://wa.me/919734652818.
4. You will be redirected to a website with a green message button.
5. Click on the button to start chatting with the entered number.
