# WhatsApp Contacts and Chats Bypasser

## πŸ“Œ About
WhatsApp Bypass is a simple and lightweight Android app that allows users to start a WhatsApp chat with any number **without saving it to contacts**. This makes it easy to quickly message businesses, temporary contacts, or people you don't want to add to your phonebook.
"WhatsApp Bypass" is a simple and lightweight Android app that allows users to start a WhatsApp chat with any number **without saving it to contacts**. This makes it easy to quickly message businesses, temporary contacts, or people you don't want to add to your phonebook.

This was mostly done in protest to Whatsapp's invasive privacy mandate on needing contacts access to start a message.
This was mostly done in protest to Whatsapp's invasive privacy mandate on needing contacts access to start a message. Only nonstandard Android patches like found in [GrapheneOS](https://grapheneos.org) reduce the privacy implications of this using "Contact Scopes".

I built this app, even though many alternatives exist, simply to test out more of the new android development features. This was quite a fun project and do plan on maintaining this app and continue the developments, like launching it with Signal.
So this is to help people not on GrapheneOS be more private too.
