Throwaway test page

Message test

This opens your messages, or WhatsApp, with a draft already written. Nothing is sent unless you press send, and you do not need to. Use only numbers that are yours, or that a friend has said yes to.

Open this page in Safari (iPhone) or Chrome (Android), not inside another app.

1. Type the numbers

For a fair test, make at least one of them a number this phone has never messaged. A buyer's phone has never messaged a shop.

The numbers stay in this browser tab. The page itself sends nothing. Tapping a WhatsApp link opens WhatsApp's web address with that number in it.

2. Text message to one number

Tap Open. Does your messages app open with number 1 and the text filled in? Then come back here and mark what you saw.

3. Text message to several numbers

Tap Open, look at the draft, then come back and mark it. Worked means every number and the text were there. If a number or the text was missing, tap that. If both were missing, tap both. Didn't open means nothing opened, or it showed an error.

4. WhatsApp

Tap Open. Worked means a WhatsApp chat opened with the text written.

5. Send me the results

Do this on each phone you try. The copy has no numbers and no message in it. Paste it into our chat.
