WhatsApp rolls out contact cards sharing on Windows beta

Meta-owned messaging platform WhatsApp has started to roll out the ability to share contact cards on Windows beta.

The new feature allows users to share contact cards within the same chat share sheet, reports WABetaInfo.

The entry point “Contacts” will appear if the feature is already enabled for the user’s WhatsApp account. With this feature, when a user is sharing a contact card, the recipient can easily add it to their address book.

The ability to share contact cards has been rolled out to some beta users after downloading the WhatsApp beta for Windows 2.2247.2.0 update, the report said. It further adds that it is available on the Microsoft Store and it will be rolled out to more beta testers over the coming days.

Earlier this week, the messaging platform rolled out the ability to create polls on Windows beta.

To create a poll, users have to click the attach icon which is next to the chat bar, and can see a poll option.

WhatsApp claims that the polls feature will be protected by end-to-end encryption as the other chats. Similar to Polls on Android and iOS, the feature lets you create a poll with up to 12 options as answers.
