WhatsApp is a messaging application that does not have its independent contact list, but rather depends on mobile contacts. For this reason, it has outsourced to the mobile contacts app when registering a new contact. Now WhatsApp has almost ready a way to save contacts from app itself.
WhatsApp is more autonomous than ever with the new feature save and edit contacts, which is already present in its beta version for Android, although it is not active for everyone. For users, it will be a faster way to edit and add contacts from WhatsApp, without having to switch between apps.
Save Contacts in WhatsApp
There are many things WhatsApp can do, but saving contacts is not one of them. If someone writes to you that you don’t have on WhatsApp and want to save it, you are redirected to the contacts application mobile by default. The same thing happens if you click New contact after pressing the floating new conversation button.
This is about to change as WhatsApp has prepared a way to save and edit contacts
A curious fact about this new window to save WhatsApp contacts is that It will tell us if this phone number has WhatsApp or not with small text. It also notifies us if we already have this phone number in our agenda.
if we press to safeguardthe contact It is saved in mobile contacts, so that they remain fully synchronized between the system and WhatsApp. We can see the new contact both in WhatsApp and in the contact app.
WhatsApp already has permission to view and edit mobile contacts, no user intervention is therefore required. This feature to edit contacts is always enabled for users and it will prevent us from switching between WhatsApp and our contacts app if we want to add someone to our calendar.
