WhatsApp incorporates a new function so that users can add and manage contacts without using the mobile address book. Now, to add a user you will have to use the app's own contact cards, giving the platform greater autonomy. Let's learn more about this update, how it is used and when we will be able to have it.
How to add and manage new contacts on WhatsApp?
WhatsApp allows you to add contacts via a QR code that adds the number when scanned. However, Meta wants this not to be the only method and has now launched a new feature. This is a way of managing contacts within the app, without using the mobile phone's address book.
The feature includes options to organize, sync and store contacts directly on WhatsApp. In this case, Users will be able to decide whether or not they want to schedule them on their mobile phone, or just leave them alone in the messaging app.
The update allows you to save numbers by user nameThis management adds an extra layer of privacy, since you won't have to share the number, only the user and the system will manage the communication. At the moment, the function is not available in the stable version, but according to the WhatsApp blog, the tool can also be managed from the keyboard, using the web and desktop version.
Another of the benefits is be able to differentiate personal contacts from business contacts, leaving those client numbers on WhatsApp. While the mobile phone's address book stores phone numbers of friends, family, acquaintances and others to consider.
This feature will help users to store a contact only in the app, ensuring that it is safe in case they lose their phone or change devices. If you think this is a good tool, we invite you to leave a comment. Also, Share the news so that other users know about the new developments.
