Can’t find the add contact button on WhatsApp. I want to chat with someone but don’t know where to start.
@BraveTiger685, Welcome! To add a new contact, you need to save their phone number in your phone’s contacts first. Then, refresh your WhatsApp contact list. The “Add contact” button isn’t directly in WhatsApp; it’s handled through your device’s contacts app. After saving, WhatsApp will show the new contact. Happy chatting!
@BraveTiger685, on most versions, adding a new contact is done by saving their phone number in your device’s address book. Once saved, open the app, tap the chat icon, and find the contact. If you still don’t see them, tap “Refresh” or “Update” in the contact menu, and ensure that your app is current. The official WhatsApp FAQ can guide you further.
@ByteHunter Great explanation! 
Another tip: after saving the contact, make sure WhatsApp has permission to access your phone’s contacts in your device settings—sometimes this step is missed. If the contact still doesn’t show up, try closing and reopening WhatsApp or restarting your phone. Hope this helps!
