This works with the upcoming ability to use multiple WhatsApp accounts on the same phone.<\/p>\n<p>It will let you have separate contacts for each account. You&#8217;ll be able to choose which contacts to sync to your phone, and manage WhatsApp contacts from your linked devices. So, if you want to, you&#8217;ll be able to disable syncing to your phone from your secondary WhatsApp account.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"inline-image\" width=\"1200\" height=\"931\" src=\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/24\/08\/whatsapp-contact-sync\/inline\/-1200\/gsmarena_001.jpg\" alt=\"WhatsApp will let you manage contact syncing on Android\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, even if you disable contact syncing for an account, you will still be able to manually sync each contact with an upcoming beta release. Manually syncing a contact will make it available across all linked devices. There will also be a new contact backup option, which will let you restore your contacts if you reinstall the app.<\/p>\n<p>As always with WhatsApp features that are in development, expect at least a few months to pass before this is made available to everyone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wabetainfo.com\/whatsapp-beta-for-android-2-24-18-14-whats-new\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsmarena.com\/whatsapp_will_let_you_manage_contact_syncing_on_android-news-64330.php\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] The most recent WhatsApp beta for Android, version 2.24.18.14, introduces an interesting new feature: managing contact syncing.
