Create Shortcuts For Important Contacts

Want to speed up your WhatsApp communication? How about creating a

shortcut to your favorite Whatsapp contact or group straight from your

homescreen?


On Android, this is as simple as long pressing on the group or contact you want

to create a shortcut for. When the menu pops up, just tap on Add conversation 

shortcut. This will create a shortcut to the contact or group you have chosen

right on your homescreen.

This behaviour isn’t available on WhatsApp for iOS, but you can use a

third-party app such as 1TapWA to have similar functionality on your iPhone.
 
Since it’s an app, 1TapWA also has some extra features such as an image 

editor and an action scheduler.
