How To Add A Contact On Whatsapp

Method 1: Add a New Contact on WhatsApp

The option to add a new contact is available in WhatsApp from the new chat screen. From here, you can enter details of the person and their number to text them directly in the app. Here are the detailed steps for the process, which work for both Android and iPhone.
Once added, you can look them up on the app and start messaging.

Method 2: Scan QR Code to Add Someone

If you don’t want to go through the trouble of entering someone’s details on the app, then there is an alternative way to add them. You can scan their WhatsApp QR code which already contains their details and contact info to connect with them on the app. Here is how you can find your WhatsApp QR code and scan others’ codes on Android. The process to do it is more or less the same on the iOS version of the app as well.
After you have scanned their QR code, you can instantly start chatting with them on the app.

Method 3: Add a WhatsApp Contact on PC

Similar to the mobile, the Windows version of WhatsApp also lets you directly connect with others without having to save a contact in your phone’s contact list. However, instead of adding a new contact, you can enter someone’s phone number and chat with them. Here’s how to do it.
Now you know how to add contacts directly from WhatsApp and connect with them on the app. I genuinely like the feature to enter someone’s phone number to connect with them rather than saving their contact, as some conversations happen only one time, so having to save their details is kind of redundant.
