WhatsApp Has Announced A New Feature That Stores Contact Directly Within The App!

On October 22, 2024, WhatsApp announced a new feature of “contact storage within the app” which will allow users to save contact details within the app. 

Previously, WhatsApp typically relied on the phone contact book to store contact details, which was inconvenient in the scenario of mobile or phone memory loss. WhatsApp’s new feature coming out soon “built-in contact manager” strives to prevent this issue. 

Meta has stated that “eventually” users will be able to save contacts by usernames.  A username will add an extra degree of security that will allow end users to mask their phone number while messaging someone. At the end of breaking this news, Meta says they aim to enhance user’s privacy and will share more information about this feature when it’s ready.
