Whether it's because WhatsApp has become a ubiquitous form of communication and you have all your family, personal and work contacts in the same application, or because you simply get lost in your long list of hookups, it's a good idea to have some organization. At the moment the messaging application does not allow you to create categories of contacts. Or group them into different sections to find them comfortably. Everything follows in a huge alphabetical list that, the more it grows, the more difficult it is to manage.But don't worry because there are resources to organize and search for WhatsApp contacts Here we tell you.
Since WhatsApp does not allow us to edit the information of our contacts, the trick is to modify the agenda of our mobile That is, that Let's create our own contact classification system based on keywords. Enough so that we can later do a more specific search on WhatsApp without remembering the full name of that person. As easy as adding a third last name to a contact: Fulanito García (Family), for example.
Creating contact categories
The idea is that we go through the contact list of our mobile. The schedule, wow. Here we must go editing the contact names of those people that we are interested in grouping or categorizing. For example, we can add a parenthesis after the name, without having to complicate our lives by filling in other contact fields.Of course, you will have to remember this parenthesis and use it the same for a whole group of people. You can do it with your family contacts, by adding the parenthesis “(family)”, or further specify terms like “cousins”, “uncles”, etc. Remember that the idea is to group them around a keyword.
To do this, enter the terminal's agenda. Here you must search by name for the contact in question. Then tap the three dots or the pencil icon to edit the contact information. With this you can modify the name, number or other information of that person. As we say, the ideal is to add a parenthesis after the name. Enough for WhatsApp to recognize it.
This technique is also especially practical with work contacts and flirts.Thanks to this parenthesis you will be able to create categories such as “call now”, “important”, “flirt”, or any other that will help you find them later and remember what you can do with them. So you won't waste time going through conversations and messages. You just have to be a little proactive and create these general categories to apply to multiple contacts at once.
Using categories in WhatsApp
Now comes the practical. You are probably familiar with the search tool of WhatsApp contacts. What you did not know is that, thanks to the categorization you have made of your agenda, you can now find them more quickly thanks to this function.
Just enter WhatsApp and click on the magnifying glass icon. Here you will have to enter the keyword in the parentheses that you have added to the contact names.As long as you write several letters of the word, WhatsApp will show you related results. In this way, the contacts that you have “surnamed” with that term will appear first. Available to start a conversation, a video call or whatever is provided. And without needing to know your name.
It is important that you be conscientious when it comes to categorizing contacts. And that don't make mistakes when you write the parentheses in the information of the agenda. If not, it will be impossible for you to recover this contact from the WhatsApp search.
