## Description

**DirectChat** helps business owners and service providers follow up with customers immediately after phone calls. When a call ends, a quick-action popup lets you open a WhatsApp chat, send an SMS, call back, or save the number—without typing it or adding it to your contacts.

The app also includes Quick Dial for messaging unsaved numbers, a Recent history for repeat follow-ups, saved Quick Replies, WhatsApp QR code generation, and WhatsApp Web Scan for using multiple WhatsApp accounts. DirectChat uses WhatsApp’s official public link scheme and is designed for personal and business communication.
