Today I'm gonna present you with a superb yet small method to add contacts to Bluestacks for PC.

Bluestacks has an option to manage contacts, but it took me some time to find it, so here I'm showing you a way to do it, so that you don't get a problem.

Note: This post is for Bluestacks version 0.7. The method to add new contacts in Bluestacks 0.8 (the current-16/03/2014 latest Android 4.0+ devices based version) is different & the Post about it, is in the following link:

WHY ADD CONTACTS TO BLUESTACKS

Well this is definitely a nice question & the answer is, for using apps like, "Whatsapp" & "Viber" on PC, you need contacts installed. That is why we need to add contacts to Bluestacks.

Obviously, you'll need Bluestacks installed on your PC. Here is the link, for the post, which I've given to Download Bluestacks:

THE METHOD

Note: Make sure you have the latest version of Bluestacks (Currently 0.7.10 beta) Update (26-10-2013), the latest version for bluestacks, now is: 0.7.18.

So here's the easiest procedure to add contacts to Bluestacks for PC:

Observe the "Settings" Button on the Main Bluestacks screen, on bottom-right side of the Screenshot:

1. Run Bluestacks & on its main App Screen, click on "Settings" Button o the Bottom-Right Side of the Screen.

2.Click on "Manage Contacts" Button.

3. Click on "Contacts" Tab, then.

4. Click on "Options" Button (on the bottom-left side of the screen) & Click on "New Contacts" Option.

See the "New Contact" option, that appears, below:

5. Enter the information for the contact & Click on "Done".

This is the Contact Form, where you gotta input the information:

Then you'll find the contact, you just added, in the Contacts List.

That's it!
I hope, you liked the above Tutorial. In Future, I'll try to add a tutorial to Transfer your Smart Phone Contacts to Bluestacks for PC.

UPDATE (25-10-2013) {Solved issue}

If you are getting issues, like your Contacts have been shown to be "Contact Saved", but actually not displayed in the Contacts list, you can simply go-to "Display Options" option, when you go-to Manage contacts & then press the options buttons on Bottom-left side.

Then under "Choose contacts to display", Click on the [User Account Name] of yours. Tick all the options that appear now, "System Group: My Contacts" & "All other contacts."

Your previously added comments should now be displayed.

If they still don't, try updating your Bluestacks to the latest version, by going to the official Bluestacks website: www.bluestacks.com.

Note: You may also see some duplicate contacts, I don't know why!, but it is recommended not to delete them.

Do comment with your questions or your own opinion about anything or even to contact me.
