Did you understand you presumably can open a chat in WhatsApp with any number without saving first into contacts by opening in your browser the hyperlink 'wa.me/123456789' (using the prefix number desired)?

Originally that link was longer and harder to recollect, so I made this tiny app to assist in the process.

Since then I even have added multiple functionalities (enter message, share hyperlink, listing of country codes, create shortcut, save latest and pinned, open recent calls via add-on, and some more) but at all times with these three ideas:

1) Make the smaller app attainable. This means no additional unrelated content, no extra libraries and no ineffective issues. Currently its measurement is round 100KB=0.1MB. Less than a regular 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 adverts. I hate adverts. I will never add ads, adware, spy ware, person monitoring or other nasty stuff.

If you desire a small software that can assist you open numbers in WhatsApp, attempt it. If you like an app that sends your knowledge to Google, there are clones out there.
