How to add a number to WhatsApp from your phone's contacts - in detail?
To add a contact's number to WhatsApp from your phone's contacts, follow these detailed steps:
- Open Your Phone's Contacts App: Locate and tap on the Contacts app icon on your home screen or in your app drawer. This will open the list of all the contacts saved on your device.
- Find the Contact: Scroll through your contacts list to find the person you want to add to WhatsApp. You can use the search function at the top of the screen if you have a large number of contacts.
- Select the Contact: Once you've found the contact, tap on their name or profile picture to open their details page.
- Share Contact via WhatsApp: On the contact's details page, look for an option that says "Share" or has a share icon (usually three connected dots). Tap on this option. A menu will pop up with different ways to share the contact information.
- Choose WhatsApp: From the sharing options, select WhatsApp. If you don't see WhatsApp listed, it might be because the app isn't installed or isn't set as a default sharing option on your device.
- Select or Create a Chat: After choosing WhatsApp, you will be taken to the messaging app. Here, you can either select an existing chat with the contact or create a new one by tapping on the "New Chat" icon (usually represented by a pencil or plus sign).
- Send the Message: With the chat open, WhatsApp will pre-fill a message with the contact's information. You can add any additional text if you wish. Finally, tap the send button to share the contact's number via WhatsApp.
By following these steps, you successfully add a number from your phone's contacts to WhatsApp, making it easier to communicate with that person directly through the messaging app.
