Add or Edit Contact Without Leaving the App<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new feature has been introduced by WhatsApp on the beta version on the Android platform which allows the users to add<\/a> or edit the contact without having to leave the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Till today, WhatsApp did have a shortcut that let them quickly add contacts, but the feature used the phone\u2019s default contact app. However, users can quickly add new contacts to their list without leaving the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s How You Can Test It!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those who are enrolled to the WhatsApp beta program on the Google Play Store, you can check if the feature is available for you and all you have to do is open your contact list in WhatsApp and tap on the \u2018New contact\u2019 button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the feature is available, you will be taken to a new screen within the app where it will ask for contact info like first name, last name, contact number and the place where you want to save the information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feature, apart from allowing to add you in the add new contacts, also lets the users to edit the existing contact information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As compared to the older process wherein the WhatsApp switched to the contacts app, this feature seems to be very useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This feature is being currently rolled out for the developers for the beta testers, so in case the new functionality is not available on your device, it might take a while before it pops up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created by WhatsApp Inc. of Mountain View, California, WhatsApp is an internationally available freeware, cross-platform, centralized instant messaging (IM) and voice-over-IP (VoIP) service owned by US tech conglomerate Meta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users can send text and voice messages, make voice and video calls, and share images, documents, user locations, and other content. It is an app on mobile devices, and also can be accessed from computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It became the world’s most popular messaging application by 2015,[21][22] and had more than 2 billion users worldwide by February 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
