Sharing Multiple Contacts

If you wish to share multiple contacts, you will need to repeat the process for each one. This method works well for sharing individual contacts. However, if you are looking to share a group or multiple contacts, consider exporting them from your contacts app and sending them through email or another method, as WhatsApp does not support direct bulk contact sharing.

Choose WhatsApp and send the link to your friend.
