WhatsApp now lets you add and edit contacts within the app

WhatsApp will gain a new feature that will allow users to add and edit contacts without leaving the application. The information came through the site WABetaInfowhere it is said that the beta version of WhatsApp for Android has just received a feature that allows people to add or edit contacts without having to leave the app.

It is important to remember that there was already a shortcut to add contacts in WhatsApp. However, in this case, the user was directed to the phone’s contact book instead of staying within Meta’s instant messaging application (formerly Facebook). Now, with the new feature, it will be possible to add new contacts to the contact list or Google account without leaving WhatsApp.

Through a screenshot, WABetaInfo showed us how the feature of adding and editing contacts within the WhatsApp application for Android will be. As you can see in the image below, you will no longer need to switch between apps to save a new contact. In addition, it is possible to add unknown numbers to the contact list when a message is sent to you on WhatsApp.

With the new feature of adding new contacts and editing existing contacts, WhatsApp users will save time, as they will not need to access the smartphone’s contact book to make the necessary changes.

Release and availability

The new functionality for adding and editing contacts within WhatsApp is being tested by some participants in the testers program for the beta version of the application. The new feature is expected to roll out to more people in the coming days.
