The instant messaging service Whatsapp It is one of the most popular in the world and the most used in Argentina, where eight out of ten web users rely on it to send all types of messages, images and documents.
With more than 2,000 million users worldwide, WhatsApp was born in 2009 and since 2014 has belonged to Meta, the group Marco Zuckerberg which also checks Facebook AND Instagram.
The lack of direct connection with the app It can become a real headache for those who rely on it to communicate.
However, from mid-2023 there is a “shortcut” to continue using it no connection required.
How to send WhatsApp messages without data or WiFi?
The company itself explains that “when you cannot connect directly to WhatsApp, you have the option of connecting via a server power of attorney set up by volunteers and organizations dedicated to helping people communicate freely and safely.
They clarify that “the use of a proxy does not affect the high level of Privacy and security that WhatsApp provides to all users.” And they add: “this means that only you and the person you communicate with can access it and no one else can see it, not even proxy, WhatsApp or Meta servers”.
With access to Internet, the user can search on social networks or Google for “reliable sources who have created a proxy”. Once selected you need to follow the following steps:
In the Chats tab, press the three vertical dots icon and go to Settings. Then, click Storage & Data and Proxy. Tap Set proxy.
The next step is to introduce a proxy server, like a IP address. As WhatsApp explains, “you can customize a chat port just for chatting or a media file port for voice messages, videos or images.” Finally, click on the green thumbs up icon to save. If the connection has been established, a message about its status will be displayed.
The Meta company also encourages volunteers and organizations to create proxy servers that help reestablish the connection with the application. In this case it is possible to create a proxy with a server with ports 80, 443 or 5222 available and a domain name (or subdomain) which points to the server’s IP address.
A proxy, it is worth remembering, acts as an intermediary between the user and the destination connection (in this case WhatsApp). Although it should not be confused with a VPN, Since this ensures greater security protection, a proxy allows communication to be established directly.
