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.
Yeah. This entirely. I will not share out my contact list for it to be stolen abused or sold
