Adding WhatsApp contacts to Apple Contacts

Why do you imagine I am asking the community?

Unless you tell us, no one here knows what troubleshooting steps you've already taken. It is frequently the case that people make recommendations only to have the user respond with, "No, I've already done that." It will save everyone time and frustration if you outline what you've already tried.

If it's such a simple question, why has nobody been able to answer it? Maybe it isn't.

The simple answer is you can’t, unless the developers of WhatsApp add a way to do it. This has absolutely nothing to do with Apple, who has no way to fix WhatsApp (as it is a Meta product).

Simple question, and been unable to find an answer.

How do I add a WhatsApp contact to my Apple contacts...

Everyone knows WhatApp is not an Apple product, but other apps, like Microsoft do automatically sync..

And what did WhatsApp say when you contacted them?

As you refuse to answer clarifying questions ("I researched the web" tells us nothing about what troubleshooting steps you took), I'm certainly not going to waste my time by continuing to try to help someone unwilling to participate in the process.

Best of luck.

I researched on the internet and learned that the Earth is flat and thousands of people have been abducted by aliens. The open internet is a really bad place to go to get advice about almost anything, especially anything technical. Stick with technical and vendor forums and support sites.

WhatsApp quite happily pulls contacts from Apple's contact app.

What more can I do?

That is the right attitude to have when you're seeking help from fellow Apple device users. That will get you far in life and be successful in getting your issue resolved.
