Whatsapp desktop - making a chat / call with no contacts
A friend uses Whatsapp from a phone. I'd like to use whatsapp from my desktop or phone to communicate with them.
I have installed whatsapp on my android phone and have connected the desktop. And am leaving the phone turned on, as directed.
I refused to permit Whatsapp to read my contacts, etc.. I'm not a big facebook fan and know that they share everything everywhere and sell it everywhere.
However, I cannot figure a way to make or even receive a call using whatsapp without using my contacts list.
Is this true or is there something I'm missing. On the desktop app I put in a phone number and it wants to search my contacts, which of course it does not have. After using "Create Group" same thing.
No way to make a call at all with whatsapp if you don't share your contacts with it?
if so, Whatsapp is completely broken for me.
And if so that's fine since I can use Skype or Discord just fine.
Thanks much,
wg
