The latest WhatsApp beta for Android, version 2.24.18.14, introduces a new feature that allows users to manage contact syncing. This feature is designed to work in conjunction with the upcoming ability to use multiple WhatsApp accounts on the same phone.
With this feature, users will be able to have separate contacts for each account and choose which contacts to sync to their phone. They will also be able to manage WhatsApp contacts from their linked devices. This means that users will be able to disable syncing to their phone from their secondary WhatsApp account if they want to.
Interestingly, even if users disable contact syncing for an account, they 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. Additionally, there will be a new contact backup option, which will allow users to restore their contacts if they reinstall the app.
As with any WhatsApp feature that is still in development, it’s likely to be a few months before this feature is made available to everyone.
