Ping Direct
Non-contact WhatsApp Chat
Message anyone on WhatsApp — no contact saved, no clutter, no fuss.
Type a number, optionally compose your message, and you're in the chat. Smart clipboard detection, WhatsApp Business support, AES-256 local encryption, and zero permissions you didn't ask for.
Less clutter. More conversation.
Direct WhatsApp chat
Open a conversation with any number in one tap — choose WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business before you launch. No detour through Contacts.
Smart clipboard detection
Copied a number from an email, website or message? Ping Direct reads it automatically — including embedded numbers like "call me at +91 98765 43210" — and fills in the field.
Pre-filled messages
Compose your message before WhatsApp opens — it auto-fills in the chat box. Supports multi-line, emoji and up to 5,000 characters. Last message saved automatically.
Share from any app
Tap Share in your browser, notes app or email client and choose Ping Direct. The shared text drops straight into the message field — number and message ready to go.
Privacy-first, always
AES-256 encryption with Android Keystore keys. SQLCipher encrypted database. Zero cloud sync of your numbers. No access to contacts, SMS or location. You own your data.
Optional contact history
Disable history entirely, or keep a list of frequent numbers with custom names. Sort by recency, frequency or country. Swipe to delete, export to CSV anytime.
200+ countries
Country selector with flags, auto-detection of your country on first launch, alphabetical fast-scroll and a popular countries shortlist. Works with any international number.
OLED dark mode
Four display modes: Light, Dark, System default and Pure Black (true OLED black). Easy on the eyes for late-night use, easy on the battery on OLED screens.
Your numbers never leave your device.
Ping Direct was designed with a simple rule: collect only what you explicitly save, encrypt it properly, and never send it anywhere. No cloud, no server, no surprises.
