After completing this process just hit the button “send”, also add the mail address and then download a vcf file having all the phone contact which is sent by the app.

11. Get back in the Bluestack, hit on a search button. Hunt for Dropbox, then install it in a way as you did for whatsapp.
12. After installing, from the home screen of BlueStack launch Dropbox hit on start on the Dropbox screen.
13. Give the log in credentials in the drop box and get signed in. Hit on next and get to a next screen. Here you will have a view of your account of Dropbox and also MCBackup.vcf file. Hit on the file to download to BlueStack.
14. After the completion of file downloading. You will get one option box. Hit on contact and also hit that email id under which that contacts will be saved.
15. Now all the contacts will be imported from vcf file by BluckStuck.
16. Now its done, in Bluestack tab the home button, so, you will get to home screen, here launch Wahtsapp. At the right top click on pencil icon so, you can view all Whatsapp contacts. Choose any from it and start chat just like you do on the phone.
