• WhatsApp will soon let you save and manage contacts on linked devices.
• Currently, the messaging app only lets you manage contacts on your primary device.
• This feature will first roll out to WhatsApp Web and Windows and eventually make it to other linked devices.

WhatsApp has a nifty feature that lets you simultaneously use the messaging app on two or more devices. It’s great for users who carry separate work and home phones or use the app on a PC or tablet. However, this feature has an annoying limitation. It doesn’t let you save new contacts on secondary devices, requiring you to use your primary phone to add or manage contacts. WhatsApp plans to change this soon.

In a recent blog post, WhatsApp announced that it will soon let users add and manage contacts on WhatsApp Web and Windows (via Engadget). The messenger will also offer users a new option to save contacts exclusively to WhatsApp, allowing them to easily separate personal and business contacts while using multiple WhatsApp accounts on a phone. WhatsApp plans to bring this functionality to other linked devices but hasn’t shared a tentative release timeline.
