WhatsApp is testing a new feature called Guest Chat that enables users to message individuals without a WhatsApp account. By sharing a unique invitation link, recipients can join conversations via a web browser without installing the app. This feature, currently in beta for Android and iOS, labels non-account participants as "Guests" to distinguish them from regular users. If widely released, it could simplify communication with people outside the WhatsApp platform.
