title: Telegram send unsaved contact
body: <p><strong>Short</strong>: Is there any way to send phone number of unsaved contacts in telegram?</p>
  
  <p><strong>Long</strong>: I need to send unsaved contact to telegram bot like 20 times a day.
  I know, than I can open phone app > go to "recent" tab > click on unsaved phone number > copy it > switch back to telegram > paste it. Is there any way to send it automatically or simplify this process?</p>
  
  <p>I am not asking you about fully working program. Just tell if it is possible or give me ideas.</p>
  
  <p>So far, I found that it is possible to send my phone number to telegram bot via <a href="https://core.telegram.org/bots/2-0-intro#locations-and-numbers" rel="nofollow noreferrer">API</a>. But can't find a way to send unsaved contact.</p>
  
  <p>Also, telegram has built-in feature to send contacts, but it works only with telegram contacts, not with unsaved phone numbers.</p>
  
  <p>So far, I came up with using auto clicker.</p>
  
  <p><strong>This may help you</strong>:
    My phone is Android device. I am using default Samsung phone app. And I have full control over that telegram bot.</p>
