WhatsApp Guest Chats: Chat Without Account, New Feature Rolls Out

• WhatsApp introduces 'Guest Chats' allowing users to message people without a WhatsApp account.
• Users can create a unique link; clicking it adds the recipient directly to the chat for basic text messaging.
• The feature offers end-to-end encryption and a unique ID for guest users, ensuring privacy.
• Limitations include no group chat, photo/video sharing, documents, GIFs, stickers, or voice/video calls.
• Chats expire after 10 days of inactivity; WhatsApp also allows children and pre-teens with parental controls.
