WhatsApp is introducing a built-in contact manager to enable users to save contacts directly in the app, preventing loss during phone changes.
This feature addresses the challenges faced by users who lose their devices or manage multiple accounts, ensuring easy access to contacts.
The new contact management system will utilize Identity Proof Linked Storage (IPLS), ensuring names and numbers are encrypted and secure.
WhatsApp plans to introduce a username system, allowing users to engage without needing phone numbers, following similar moves by apps like Signal.
