📱WhatsApp Needs Temporary Contacts — So I Designed it 🙂
Because not every number deserves a permanent place in your contacts
[Project Overview]
If you’ve ever saved a number like “Amazon Delivery Guy” and never used it again — you know the problem. So I designed a Temporary Contact Mode for WhatsApp. 😎
[Problem Statement]
Users often need to have short, one-time conversations on WhatsApp without permanently saving the contact. While WhatsApp technically allows chatting without saving a number by copying and pasting it into the search bar, this flow is unintuitive, hidden, and easily missed. As a result, users experience confusion and end up cluttering their phonebooks with temporary contacts they don’t actually want to save.
