According to a report by WhatsApp beta tracker WABetaInfo. WhatsApp is testing a new feature to allow saving contact details on your device directly from within the app.

Other than the name and phone number, users will also reportedly get to add other details such as birthdays, email addresses, and more.
Once the details are input, the user will get an option to save the contact either on the device locally. Or on the Google account linked to the device, as per the report.
