WhatsApp is about to make managing contacts on linked devices a whole lot easier. Currently, the messaging app only allows users to handle contacts on their primary device, leaving secondary devices out in the cold. But fret not, WhatsApp is gearing up to roll out a game-changing update that will revolutionize the way you manage your contacts on linked devices.
Here’s what you need to know about WhatsApp’s upcoming feature:
- Save and manage contacts on linked devices: Say goodbye to the hassle of switching back and forth between devices to add or update contacts. WhatsApp will soon enable users to save and manage contacts on WhatsApp Web and Windows initially, with plans to expand this functionality to other linked devices in the future.
- Separate personal and business contacts: With the new option to save contacts exclusively to WhatsApp, users can easily categorize and manage their personal and business contacts while juggling multiple WhatsApp accounts on a single device. This feature is a game-changer for users who want to keep their contacts organized and accessible across devices.
-
Added privacy with usernames: WhatsApp is also working on introducing support for usernames in the app, providing an extra layer of privacy for users. This new feature will allow users to message others without sharing their phone numbers, offering peace of mind when interacting with unknown contacts. While details about the username support are still under wraps, reports suggest that users may have the option to set PINs to their usernames to control who can message them.
Exciting changes are on the horizon for WhatsApp users, with improved contact management and enhanced privacy features in the pipeline. Keep an eye out for these updates, as they promise to streamline your messaging experience and make communication more secure.
