Whatsapp, which is owned by Meta, has added a new function called “manage contacts within the app” that enables Android users to add and edit contacts without leaving the app.

According to IANS, the latest beta version of WhatsApp for Android now allows some beta testers to add and edit contacts, and it will soon be made available to even more users.

By visiting the contact list in WhatsApp and choosing “New Contact,” users may see if the feature is available on their specific smartphones.

The ability to add contacts without leaving WhatsApp is available if the “New contact” option is present.

In addition, users can add unknown numbers to their contacts list without leaving WhatsApp when they contact someone, according to the article.

A new feature that will enable users to publish their status updates to Facebook stories without leaving the app is being developed by WhatsApp in the meanwhile.

Earlier, users could share status updates to Facebook stories, but they had to go through the extra step of manually sharing the update each time they posted something new.

But now, due to this new feature, the process may be automatic for certain status updates users choose, when the option is enabled.
