Wait is this a feature that people want? Won’t that get confusing because you’ll have two different contact lists except the WhatsApp one will be a subset of the phone one.
Also at this point I’ve got all my contacts sorted out so I’m not going to use the feature. This would have needed to have been added at the beginning.
It allows you to use WhatsApp without giving them full access to your contacts, so privacy wise I do want this feature
Right but they already have access now so closing the door after the horses bolted situation.
Well, time moves forward… so new users, replacement users, new contacts.
Because how could you sell contact data to google and apple if they already have it?
Or reinforce your walled garden and strengthen user lock-in?
While these are both certainly true it has also been annoying when I’ve added a regular contact but it doesn’t show up in WhatsApp straight away
If this means I can deny WhatsApp access to my regular contacts and still have a decent user experience I’m all for it.
Oh good. It’s really annoying have my contacts in one place; better to have a subset of them on a proprietary app
