October 23, 2024 (V SOCIAL MEDIA OF HOLLYWOOD) – WhatsApp is rolling out new features aimed at simplifying how users add and manage contacts across multiple devices. The updates will allow users to manage contacts not only on mobile devices but also on WhatsApp Web, Windows, and eventually other linked devices, according to the company.

Previously, contacts could only be added via mobile devices, either by typing in a phone number or scanning a QR code. With these new updates, users can now manage contacts directly from their desktop. The company has also introduced a feature allowing contacts to be saved exclusively to WhatsApp, ideal for those sharing their phones with others or separating personal and business contacts across multiple accounts.

According to WhatsApp, contacts saved within the app will be backed up and restored if users lose or change their devices. WhatsApp also revealed that it is working towards enabling contact management through usernames, which would allow users to communicate without sharing phone numbers, enhancing privacy.
