ReplyDeleteIt doesn't seem to allow me to add new contacts only groups and that doesn't seem to function too well. It also is missing many contacts and is populated with only some of my contacts. What shall I do? Thank you.

To get those contacts in to Whatsapp, you have to first save them in to 'Contacts' of the Firefox mobile. Then only it will show up in Whatsapp.
