WhatsApp, the number one messaging application, has been updated with many features throughout the year. Meta’s messaging platform still lacks many features at the moment.

One of these features is related to people. When you wanted to save someone on WhatsApp, the person could be added to the contact list just by using the phone.

Fortunately, this changed years later. Meta announced a new feature that will allow adding contacts from WhatsApp Web.

Thanks to the new feature coming to WhatsApp, you can now easily add contacts while using the application on the web. Meta says this about the feature in question:

What could be more important than sending a message? Of course, who you sent the message to. Today we’re making it easy to add and manage your WhatsApp contacts privately, from any device you use. Until now, to add people you had to type a phone number or scan a QR code from your mobile device.

You’ll soon be able to add and manage contacts on WhatsApp Web and Windows from the comfort of your keyboard. In the future, you will even be able to use this feature on your other connected devices.

Moreover, we introduce a new option so that you can save a contact only on WhatsApp.
