Android Question Send PDF via Whatsapp - Number not in Contacts

[Setlodi]

Hi Friends

I send PDF receipts via WhatsApp business to customers. The issue is when I send to phone numbers that's in my contact list it works fine. However, when I send to phone numbers that are not in my contacts it opens installed WhatsApp and wants me to select a contact from my list before I send.

Here is my code:

Sub sharePDFToViaWs(afile As String, toNumber As String)
    Dim in As Intent
    in.Initialize(in.ACTION_MAIN,"")
    fFileProvider.SetFileUriAsIntentData(in, afile)
    in.Action=in.ACTION_SEND
    in.SetPackage("com.whatsapp.w4b")
    in.PutExtra("android.intent.extra.STREAM", fFileProvider.GetFileUri(afile))
    in.PutExtra("jid", "27" & toNumber & "@s.whatsapp.net")
    in.putExtra("android.intent.extra.TEXT", "Testing")
    in.SetType("application/pdf")
    StartActivity(in)
End Sub

Private Sub btnSendWhatsapp_Click
    Dim PhoneNumber As String = txtWA_Phone_Number.Text
    Dim Formatted_Phone_Number As Int = NumberFormat2(PhoneNumber,0,0,0,False)
    Log("Formatted_Phone_Number = "&NumberFormat2(Formatted_Phone_Number,0,0,0,False))
    sharePDFToViaWs(Receipt_File_Name, Formatted_Phone_Number)
    pnlReceiptWhatsapp.Visible = False
End Sub

I'm stuck here. Please help.
