The latest thing about WhatsApp is to save contacts without changing the application

WhatsApp is a messaging application that does not have its independent contact list, but rather depends on the mobile contacts. For this reason, it subcontracted to the mobile contacts app when saving a new contact. Now WhatsApp has almost ready a way to save contacts from the application itself.

WhatsApp is more self-sufficient than ever with the new feature save and edit contacts, which is already present in its beta 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 applications.

Save contacts in WhatsApp

There are many things that WhatsApp can do, but saving contacts is not one of it. If someone writes to you that you don’t have on WhatsApp and you want to save it, you are redirected to the contacts app mobile default. The same happens if you click on New contact after pressing the floating button of new conversation.

This is about to change because WhatsApp has prepared a way to save and edit contacts from the application itself. It is a basic version where we can edit or add name, surname and telephone number. Any other additional details that you want to add, you must do it from the contacts application.

New contact

A curious fact about this new window to save WhatsApp contacts is that It will tell us if that phone number has WhatsApp or not with small text. It also notifies us if we already have that phone number in our agenda.

if we press Keepthe contact It is saved in the 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 application.

WhatsApp already has permission to view and edit mobile contacts, so no user intervention is required. This functionality to edit contacts is still being activated for users and it will prevent us from switching between WhatsApp and our contacts app if we want to add someone to our agenda.
