How to forward a contact in WhatsApp to another person - in detail?
To forward a contact from one person to another using WhatsApp, follow these detailed steps:
- Open WhatsApp: Launch the WhatsApp application on your mobile device.
- Locate the Contact: Navigate to the chat where you have saved the contact you wish to forward. Alternatively, if the contact is not in a chat but in your phone's contacts list, you can still proceed with the following steps.
- Open the Chat or Contact: Tap on the chat containing the contact or directly open the contact from your phone’s contacts list.
- View Contact Details: Once inside the chat or contact details, look for the name or number of the person whose contact you want to forward. Tap on it to view the full contact information.
- Share Contact: In the top right corner of the screen, you will see an option that looks like three dots (⋮) or a share icon (?). Tap on this option. A menu will appear with various options such as "View Contact," "Message," "Call," and "Share." Select "Share."
- Choose the Recipient: After tapping "Share," you will be presented with a list of contacts or apps where you can forward the contact information. Scroll through the list to find the person to whom you want to send the contact. You can also use the search bar at the top to quickly locate the recipient.
- Send the Contact: Once you have selected the recipient, tap on their name or profile picture. This will open a message window with the contact information pre-filled. You can add a personal note if desired before sending. Tap the send button (usually depicted as an airplane ✈️ or a paper plane ?) to forward the contact.
- Confirmation: After you have sent the contact, you will typically receive a confirmation message indicating that the contact has been successfully shared. The recipient should now see the contact information in their WhatsApp messages.
By following these steps, you can efficiently share contacts with others using WhatsApp. This feature is particularly useful for sharing professional or personal contacts without having to manually type out the details.
