Tap any phone number. Tap ClickPing. WhatsApp opens to that chat — no contact saved. ClickPing is a click-to-chat tool that opens a WhatsApp chat with any number without saving it to your contacts. Type or paste a number, or share one from another app with the Share sheet — ClickPing sorts out the country code and opens the chat in the official WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business app you choose. WHY CLICKPING • One small banner on the free version, and no ads at all with ClickPing Plus. Never full-screen, never a video, and never personalised to you. • No saved contact, no history, no recent-number list you didn't ask for. • Opens the official WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business chat — you pick which. • Sorts out the country code for you, so the right chat opens. • Scan a number with your camera or a QR code — free, no upgrade needed. PERFECT FOR • Messaging a marketplace seller, buyer, or classified-ad contact you'll never save. • Freelancers and service providers replying to one-off client numbers. • Coordinating a delivery, pickup, or booking. • Reaching a number from a website, email, invoice, or document. • Short trips where you message a number just once. HANDLES THE TRICKY CASES Numbers don't always come with a country code. ClickPing figures it out and shows a clear preview before anything opens. If a block of text has several numbers, you pick the one you want. It only asks when a decision is genuinely needed — otherwise it just opens. PERSONAL OR BUSINESS If you have both WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business installed, ClickPing asks which one to use. Remember your choice and it skips the question next time. MORE WAYS TO START • Type or paste a number on the main screen. • Scan a number with your camera, including a QR code. • Share text or a photo of a number from any app via the Share sheet. • Add a Home Screen shortcut for one-tap access. MORE THAN WHATSAPP Once ClickPing has a number, you don't have to stop at WhatsApp. You can also: • Call it, or text it in Messages. • Copy it, or share it to another app. • Save it as a new contact. ClickPing simply hands the number to your phone's own Phone, Messages, or Contacts app — it never takes those permissions itself. WhatsApp is still the one tap ClickPing is built for; these just save you a detour. MESSAGE TEMPLATES WITH LIVE VARIABLES Keep a short list of reusable messages. Drop in variables that fill themselves in the moment you use them: {{date}} — today's date {{day}} — the weekday {{day_month}} — day and month {{time}} — the current time No recipients are stored. No history is kept. PRIVACY YOU CAN CHECK, NOT JUST TRUST • No contacts. No call log. No location. No microphone. No background clipboard. • The number you open and any message you compose stay on your device — not collected, not stored. • Saved templates and preferences back up to your own iCloud account; no phone numbers and no recipients are included. • Crash and usage diagnostics are content-free — never a phone number, a message you wrote, or a link ClickPing built. FREE CORE, OPTIONAL PLUS ClickPing's core features are free: opening chats, sorting out country codes, scanning a number with your camera or a shared image, the Share sheet, Home Screen shortcuts, and up to three saved message templates. ClickPing Plus is an optional one-time purchase that unlocks permanently — no subscription — and adds: • No ads. The banner disappears everywhere in the app. • Unlimited saved message templates, beyond the free limit of three. • Default-message auto-fill, so a chosen template drops into every chat you open. ONE JOB, DONE PROPERLY ClickPing has a single focus: open the right WhatsApp chat, fast, without saving a contact. No status downloader, no feature bloat. ClickPing is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, Meta, or their owners.
