WhatsApp will be able to save contacts from a linked device

WhatsApp said through a blog post that currently users can add contacts on WhatsApp only by saving the number in the primary device or by scanning the QR code. Soon a new feature will be added for the convenience of the users. This feature will soon be available to users through updates. Users will be able to save contact numbers on WhatsApp Web and Windows and Linked Devices.

Another new feature is going to be added to the instant messaging platform WhatsApp. Through this feature, users will be able to share contacts only on WhatsApp and not on their devices. This feature will be helpful for users to keep personal and professional contacts separate. Along with this, users will have the option whether they want to sync the contacts saved in WhatsApp to the smartphone or not.

Privacy will also not be a concern.
This feature of WhatsApp uses the Identity Proof Linked Storage (IPLS) system, which is an encrypted storage system. That is, users will not have to worry about privacy. Along with this, it also supports WhatsApp's Hardware Security Module (HSM) technology.

WhatsApp says that contact details are generated only with a strong encrypted key on the user's device. That is, if the device is lost or the smartphone is changed, users will have to authenticate their identity. This feature is very beneficial for those users who operate it from different devices or run a work WhatsApp account. With this, they can prepare a contact list.

WhatsApp says that gradually users will be able to manage their contacts on WhatsApp by username. By doing this, users will not need to share their phone number, this will keep their privacy better than before.
