How to create a shortcut to a WhatsApp contact

whatsapp

No matter how many contacts we have on WhatsApp, the reality is that in the end we always end up talking to the same people. And searching for them among the app's conversations can sometimes be a bit tiresome.

Therefore, a good option that we can take into account is to create a direct access.

In this way, we will have an icon on our home screen that will take us directly to the chat that we want.

Create shortcuts for your WhatsApp chats

What is a shortcut

Shortcuts are nothing more than an icon on the home screen similar to the one we use to access any application.

But by clicking on them we will not access the main menu of WhatsApp, but directly to the chat that we have with the person for whom we have created it.

The option to create a shortcut to a conversation is available for both private and group chats.

Therefore, it does not matter who or who are the people with whom you talk the most. You can have them permanently on your home screen to find them quickly.

Create shortcut from WhatsApp

The first method to create the shortcut is found in the WhatsApp application itself. We will have to enter the conversation from which we want to create access and click on the menu. Later we will select the More option and then Create Shortcut.

Next, a window will appear indicating that the shortcut will be created. Depending on the launcher you have on your mobile, you may be able to configure its appearance to your liking.

Create shortcut from widgets

Another way to carry out this process is through the menu to add widgets that you can find in your launcher. Although it may vary depending on the model, the normal thing is that you access it by leaving the screen pressed for a few seconds. From there you will have to select the WhatsApp shortcut widget.

Once you click on it, you will have to place it in the place of the screen where you want the shortcut to stay. Remember that if you wish you can move it again later.

Once you have planted it in the corresponding place, a screen will appear with all your WhatsApp conversations. You will have to choose the one for which you want to create a shortcut. Access will be created in a matter of seconds.
