Tap Edit to reorder or remove favorites. Favorites are only stored on this iPhone. Your phone doesn't know about them.

Contacts ​

Contacts lists everyone on WhatsApp from your phone's address book, A to Z, with their status text. Your own number is at the top. Use the search field to find someone.

Contacts

INFO

The list comes from your phone, through WhatsApp. To add a contact, add it on your phone. It shows up on the old iPhone a moment later.

Status ​

Coming in a later version. For now the Status tab only shows a note.
