Add Contact to Favorites Call List on WhatsApp

Are you tired of endlessly scrolling through your long chat list or contacts just to make a quick WhatsApp voice or video call to your best friend, family member, or partner? Do you wish you had a dedicated "Favorites" list for your most frequently called contacts, just like a regular phone dialer? In this essential 2025 Android guide, we will show you the two best methods to create your very own "virtual" favorites call list on WhatsApp.

This is one of the most requested features, and while WhatsApp doesn't have an official "Favorites" tab in the Calls section, this tutorial will reveal the powerful, built-in workarounds that are even better and faster. This guide is perfect for all WhatsApp users, especially in India, who want to streamline their communication and make calling their important contacts effortless.

First, we will dive into the Pin Chat method, the ultimate in-app solution. We'll provide a clear, step-by-step process showing you how to pin a contact's chat to the very top of your chat list, ensuring they are always just one tap away. We will explain the benefits of this for quick calling and also cover the important limitation of only being able to pin up to three chats.

Next, we'll show you the pro-level Android trick: creating a Home Screen Shortcut for a specific WhatsApp chat. This is the fastest way to call someone, as it allows you to bypass opening the main WhatsApp app entirely. We will walk you through the simple process of adding a shortcut for any contact directly to your phone's home screen, effectively creating a speed dial for your most important WhatsApp calls.

This guide will solve the problem of searching for contacts and will help you organize your WhatsApp for maximum efficiency. We'll also cover troubleshooting for common issues, such as what to do if the "Add shortcut" option doesn't appear. By the end of this video, you will have a perfectly arranged list of your favorite contacts, ready for instant calling.

Section 1: The Best In-App Method - Pinning Chats

This is the easiest way to keep your favorite contacts at the top of your list for quick access to both chats and calls.

Open WhatsApp and go to the main "Chats" tab.

Find the Contact You Want to Favorite. Scroll through your chat list to find the person you call most often.

Tap and Hold. Press and hold your finger on the chat with that person. The chat will become selected, and a new menu bar will appear at the top of your screen.

Tap the Pin Icon. In the top menu bar, you will see an icon that looks like a thumbtack or a pin. Tap this icon.

Your Chat is Now Pinned! The chat will now move to the very top of your chat list and will stay there permanently, even if you get new messages from other people. You will see a small pin icon next to it.

To Make a Call: Now, you can simply open WhatsApp, and your favorite person is right at the top. Tap on their chat, and then tap the voice or video call icon in the top-right corner.

Important Note: WhatsApp only allows you to pin a maximum of three chats. Choose your top three most important contacts for this feature.

Section 2: The Fastest Method - Home Screen Shortcuts

This is the ultimate speed-dial trick, creating a direct link to a chat on your phone's home screen.

Open the WhatsApp chat of the person you want to add as a favorite.

Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the chat screen.

From the dropdown menu, tap on "More."

A new menu will appear. Tap on "Add shortcut."

A pop-up will ask you to confirm. Tap "Add to Home screen."

Now, when you go to your phone's home screen, you will see a new icon with your contact's profile picture. Tapping this icon will instantly open their WhatsApp chat, allowing you to send a message or start a call in one tap. You can create as many of these shortcuts as you want, effectively building your own unlimited favorites list right on your home screen.

By combining these two methods, you can create a perfectly organized and efficient system for calling your favorite people on WhatsApp without any hassle.
