How to share multiple contacts through WhatsApp

WhatsApp has an option to share several contacts with a single friend through chat. The feature, which is available in Messenger for Android and iPhone (iOS) phones, is useful when you need to share different phone numbers with someone, or especially in groups to add many people.

In addition, the feature is handy as it avoids wasting time when typing numbers in a messenger conversation. See the following tutorial for a step-by-step guide on how to select and send multiple contacts to a WhatsApp chat on Android and iPhone.
