We explain how to add a contact on WhatsApp | Digital Trends Spanish

WhatsApp is the leading messaging application in more than 150 countries, including India, Germany, the United Kingdom and all of Latin America. That’s why you should download it if you’re looking for an easy way to communicate with practically everyone you know, no matter where they live. However, adding contacts individually can be a lousy way to spend an afternoon. To help you, we created this guide in which we show how to add a contact on whatsapp in the fastest and most convenient way.

How to invite a friend to join WhatsApp

As you start to use WhatsApp more often, you will want to add more people to your contacts. Since you can only communicate with people who already have WhatsApp, you may have to employ friendly persuasion tactics to get your friends to download yet another app on their phones, if they haven’t already downloaded the popular Facebook-owned app.

How to add a friend from a country other than yours

Adding a friend from abroad is the same as adding any other contact in your own country. As always, start by going to the chat screen and add a new contact. Just make sure you follow the protocol for adding foreign phone numbers.
