Importing Contacts in Bulk for WhatsApp
For businesses or community managers, managing thousands of contacts on WhatsApp can be challenging. This guide explains how to efficiently sync large contact lists.
The CSV to VCF Method
- Prepare Excel Sheet: Organize your contacts with 'Name' and 'Phone' columns.
- Export to CSV: Save your Excel file as a .csv file.
- Convert to VCF: Use an online converter or software to turn your CSV into a VCard (.vcf) file.
- Import to Phone: Send the VCF file to your phone and open it. Your phone will ask to import all contacts to your address book.
- Sync WhatsApp: Open WhatsApp and refresh your contact list.
Warning: Whatsapp has strict anti-spam policies. Sending bulk messages to people who haven't saved your number can get your account banned.
