cant the gmail account be synced to whats app applications
When we were doing the guide, we did come across where you can sync your Google contacts with an ANDROID app. We didn’t do a guide on this. As we try and keep it simple and fool proof. We will look into that.
Importing contacts is actually surprisingly easy:
1. If you use Google Contacts, select “More”, then “Export…”, then choose “vCard format (for importing into Apple Address Book or another application)” The VCF file should download to your PC.
2. If you use an Android device, syncing your contacts to Google and then following the instructions above would probably be easiest. There are many guides available for this. Otherwise, you can try searching for the contacts file, usually 00001.vcf in /sdcard/external-sd and transferring it to your PC.
3. Once you have the VCF file on your PC, copy it to My Pictures. Bluestacks can access certain folders on the PC. I’m too lazy to figure out which ones, but My Pictures works for me. I think My Music should work too.
4. Start Bluestacks, open Whatsapp, click the pencil button at top right corner, click the Show Menu button at bottom left corner (second from left). You should see New, New group, Status, Contacts, Settings and More. Click on Contacts.
5. This will take you to your Contacts. Now you’ll see 4 tabs: Phone, call log, contacts and favorites. Don’t click any of them.
6. Click on the same Show Menu button (bottom, second from left) and you see five options: Search, New Contact, Display Options, Accounts, Import/Export.
7. Choose Import/Export, then click on “Import from SD Card”. It will search for the VCF file (which is in My Pictures/Sounds etc.) and import everything. Ta-da!

Sync contacts is way easier by adding a Corporate account (Exchange).
Please help with the settings for this corporate account. I am not able to get these setting correct. thanks
Brilliant guide. 100% working… Thanks a lot.
I have added 3 contacts directly into contacts list all in identical format but only one works when trying to message.The others show the Note:Contact not registered etc. SMS/INVITE/RESET.Pressing one of the previous buttons causes the screen to flash but not much else .Can’t think of anything else to try
