How to Export WhatsApp Contacts

You must already know about the increasing popularity of WhatsApp in today’s world.

As technology and social media continue to advance and flourish, there is an increasing need for people to stay connected. To make sure you don’t lose connections that you have built over time, finding a reliable method to save your contacts is necessary.

This is where exporting your WhatsApp contacts comes in handy. 

Your WhatsApp contacts can be exported to a vCard. The vCard file can save your contacts in a standard file format, that makes it easy for end users to transfer or share files over a network.

Furthermore, this file format can be accessed easily across different contact management platforms.

For this reason, many users prefer to move their WhatsApp contacts in a VCF file.

To complete the migration, follow the two steps below:

Export WhatsApp Contacts in a CSV File

Go to Play Store and install the Export Contacts For WhatsApp.

 

 

Start the app installation on your device. Tap on “Sign In” and enter your Google account details to log in.

The app will scan your contacts and filter out those on WhatsApp. It will also show the statistics on the next screen.

Next, tap on “Export Contacts” to save all the WhatsApp contacts in a CSV file.

 

 

One limitation, with the free version of the app, is that you can’t export more than 100 contacts. Tap on “Export” to continue.

 

 

Finally, type the desired filename and tap on Export.

Note: You will see an option to view Contacts before you proceed to export them.
