I have developed an app which can get list of contact numbers from a WhatsApp group. Any ideas on the kind of feature(s) I should launch with on the Google Playstore?
Are there any people who use WhatsApp for managing some sort of a business and feel a need for this feature?
People do have Business groups. In my country, people use those groups to find fellow entrepreneurs, sales clients, and hire talented people. People in those groups sometimes send messages to everyone asking to connect them with prospective clients.
You can have a feature which can fulfill such requirements. I'd suggest that you make sure this feature/product falls within Google Play Store Developer's practices.
Hi @greenz1, thanks for the reply. I didn't entirely understand you first point. When you say people use groups to find, do you mean, they post a message in that group that they are looking for something / someone? If so, then how do you propose I solve that for them? They would still communicate with people in groups to find what they are looking for. May be I didn't infer correctly, could you please elaborate a little if you don't mind?
About the Google Play Store Developer's practices, yes, thanks for pointing out, I'll check it out.
Also by business groups, I meant like a utilitarian service for batch processing contact numbers in a group. E.g. get all numbers of a group in an excel sheet. / Add all numbers of a group to personal contacts list prefixed / suffixed by a certain name.
They do post messages in groups. But sometimes they send personal messages too. So your app can be used for sending direct messages to people in groups. This could work like this.
Store all group contacts in a list.
Iterate over the list and use WhatsApp to send messages. Eg.: https://wa.me/?text=Heyo, bffs! Let us have a party on https://8hoot.com
If you paste the above link in your mobile phone browser then it will take you directly to the screen where you choose the contacts which will be receiving the message. You can also add a phone number in the above link to directly message a contact.
Awesome, didn't know about this. Thanks @greenz1
All the best.
Also, if you have time then can you please help me with my problem?

Cool but am I wrong in assuming that in a WhatsApp group you can always see everyone who's part of the group and therefore their phone number?
