How to send WhatsApp message without adding contact

Method 1: Direct migration of WhatApp messages

Step 1: Start the transfer from your phone to your computer

First of all, download and install the Phone Transfer program for transferring Whatsapp conversations from your phone to computer and run it. If you are using a trial version, click “Free Trial” in the pop-up window.

Step 2: Connect the phones to the computer

Now connect your phones, which may be of different brands, to your computer and wait for the program to detect the two devices. After finding them, the program will display both phones on the screen. For example, if you want to transfer WhatsApp messages from HTC to Samsung, choose HTC as the source in the Source window and Samsung in the Destination window. With the Flip button, you can swap them.

Step 3: Select the application data

Select “Application” and “Application data” and the message “Application data transfer requires…” will appear asking you to confirm the action. To continue, select Transfer Application Data…> Confirm> Start Transfer. Do not select the “Delete data before copying” option during the transfer process.

In the middle of the migration process, a notification appears asking you to log in again and have MobileGoConnector run your device again. Click OK.

Step 4: Transfer application data from one phone to another

After that, the program will automatically transfer all applications and application data from one phone to another. Eventually the message “You have completely copied the data!” Appears. Then click "Accept" to complete the transfer.
