Go to the "Chats" tab.
Tap the "New Chat" icon (usually a green speech bubble icon in the bottom right).
Tap the Search icon (magnifying glass) at the top.
Enter the phone number (full international format). If the number is linked to a WhatsApp account, it should appear, and you can tap "Chat" to start a conversation. If not, you might see an option to "Invite to WhatsApp."
What if You Can't Find Them?
Double-check the number: Ensure the phone dominican republic whatsapp number data number is correct and in the full international format, including the country code.
They might not be on WhatsApp: someone is that they simply don't use WhatsApp or are using a different phone number for their account.
Privacy Settings: While less common for initial contact, some users have strict privacy settings (e.g., blocking others from seeing their profile picture or last seen status), but this usually doesn't prevent you from seeing their name in your contact list if they are on WhatsApp.
"Invite to WhatsApp" Option: If a saved contact isn't on WhatsApp, the app will often show an "Invite to WhatsApp" button next to their name in your WhatsApp contact list. Tapping this will allow you to send them an invitation link via SMS or another messaging app.
A Note on Privacy and Third-Party Tools
WhatsApp is designed with user privacy in mind. There is no public directory or "username search" feature (though WhatsApp is developing optional usernames for future privacy enhancements). Be extremely cautious of any third-party websites or apps that claim to offer "reverse WhatsApp lookup" services. Many of these are unreliable, may violate your privacy, or could be scams. Always stick to the official methods outlined above for secure and legitimate contact.
