How to open all contacts in WhatsApp - in detail?

To open all contacts in WhatsApp, you need to ensure that your device has synced contacts properly with the app. Here's a detailed step-by-step guide:

1. Ensure Contacts are Saved on Your Device:

   Before opening contacts in WhatsApp, make sure they are saved in your device's contact list. This is crucial because WhatsApp pulls contacts from your phone’s address book.

2. Grant Permissions to WhatsApp:

   WhatsApp requires access to your contacts to function correctly. To grant permissions:

   • Go to your device settings.
   • Navigate to Apps > WhatsApp > Permissions.
   • Ensure that the Contacts permission is enabled.

3. Sync Contacts:

   Depending on your device, the process to sync contacts may vary slightly. However, most Android devices allow you to do this through the settings:

   • Open Settings.
   • Go to Accounts (or Users & accounts).
   • Tap on your Google account.
   • Ensure that Contacts are turned on for syncing.

4. Open WhatsApp:

   After ensuring that contacts are synced, open the WhatsApp application on your device.

5. Access the Contacts List:

   To view all your contacts in WhatsApp:

   • Tap on the three vertical dots (menu icon) in the top-right corner of the screen.
   • Select “Contacts” from the dropdown menu. This action will display a list of all the contacts who are using WhatsApp and have their numbers saved in your phone’s contact list.

6. Update Contacts (if needed):

   If you do not see some contacts, it might be because they have not saved their number in your device's contact list or their number is not registered with WhatsApp. Encourage them to save their numbers and register with WhatsApp to appear in your contacts list.

7. Check for Updates:

   Ensure that both your WhatsApp application and your device’s operating system are up-to-date. Sometimes, issues can be resolved by simply updating the software.

By following these steps, you should be able to open and view all contacts in WhatsApp seamlessly.
