WhatsApp Beta Update: New Feature Allows Call Management and Secure Contact Synchronization Across Devices

WhatsApp is testing a new way to manage and synchronize contacts. Some users of the new beta version of the app can save calls to their WhatsApp account or smartphone. It is not clear if the feature will also be available.

From screenshots of WhatsApp beta version 24.20.10.76 published by WABetaInfo it turns out that users will also be able to add calls from other connected devices to WhatsApp. WhatsApp writes in a message that the contact information is stored ‘securely’. It is not clear how the company will achieve this. Users would also be able to restore their data from any device.
