I don't understand Whatsapp well enough to answer all of Micky's questions, but I do want to say that it works just fine WITHOUT any contacts at all. Whatsapp does hash the contacts, but the nature of VOIP hashes for contacts is that the salt has to be the same forever, so that's a privacy issue. When I want to dial out, I just use the WhatsApp dialer, which itself, will work just find if the person we're dialing happens to have WhatsApp themselves. It used to be the only reason I added Whatsapp was that everyone I know in Germany seems to be using it instead of phone calls and SMS/MMS, but then it turns out that Whatsapp also does video way better than MMS/SMS does. Particularly when the parents of the grandchildren are using the iPhone. I suspect RCS may make that second reason moot, over time, but I don't use RCS yet.
