The Fast Way: Exporting to vCard (.vcf)
A .vcf (vCard) file is the universal standard recognized by Apple iOS, Android, macOS Contacts, and Google Contacts. Instead of manually typing numbers into your smartphone, Snipdex lets you bundle an entire group into a single downloadable vCard file.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Open the Group on WhatsApp Web
Open web.whatsapp.com on Chrome and click on the desired group. Launch the Snipdex extension.
2. Choose vCard (.vcf) as Export Format
In Snipdex, select vCard (.vcf) instead of Excel. Customize how names should appear (e.g. including the group name or public profile name as the contact label).
3. Import into iPhone, Android, or Google Contacts
Send the downloaded .vcf file to your phone via AirDrop, email, or WhatsApp. Tap the file and select Add All Contacts. Done!

Frequently Asked Questions
Will importing overwrite my existing contacts?
No. The vCard import only adds new contact entries to your address book. It will not delete or overwrite your current contacts.
Can I rename the contacts with a prefix like 'Community Member'?
Yes. You can specify a prefix or organize names so that newly imported contacts are easy to search and group together on your phone.
What happens if some numbers are already in my phone?
Google Contacts and Apple iOS include built-in 'Merge Duplicates' tools that automatically combine entries with identical phone numbers.
