Since WhatsApp update to the new version in April 2017, the WhatsApp contact list has been hidden on the bottom banner. Thought we can find the each contact by accessing WhatsApp chat, but it's not very convenient when you have a lots of WhatsApp contacts. Or you need to keep those contacts in a safe place before some accident happens. Here we talk about how to safely backup WhatsApp Contacts on iPhone.
WhatsApp doesn't provide the function to only backup WhatsApp contacts. But as we know, we can backup all WhatsApp content to iCloud or backup to iTunes when you connect iPhone with the computer.
