to go in the whatsapp contact list, but when I'm in whatsapp and I try
to put in a contact, it shows up in the general contact list and not the whatsapp list. Tried 4 times, Paul2, Paul3, Paul4, and Paul5. All of
them promptly showed up in the general contacts list. And there they
won't work for me, to enable whatsapp calls.
This seems very strange.
Any suggestsions.

There is only one contact list, the system one (the general one). That's where new contacts go. Whatsapp simply keeps track of it and adds some
more info somewhere (if the contact has whatsapp, the photo, whatever).

And everyone in the contacts - if they like it or not - is exposed to
this criminal gang. That is why European companies forbid the use of WA
on company phones.
Even in the US banks were fined a couple of hundred
million Dollars because employees used WA against all regulations.
The sources of addresses/contacts for WA is your *complete addressbook*.

There may be only one /default/ contact database.
But WhatsApp has a /direct dialer/ that maintains its own contacts.
As do all good contacts, dialers, SMS/MMS and VOIP programs on Android.

That would make sense. Perhaps he isn't enrolled in whatsapp so they
won't make an entry for him? That would sort of surprise me because he
was a lawyer, he got around, wasn't afraid of airplanes or travel.
OTOH, he wouldn't buy anything made in China, even when somethings were
hard to get except those made in China. So maybe he read the warnings
in this thread and decided against whatsapp.
I've emailed him to ask him.

And the person you want to call has to have WhatsApp as well. Just
because someone is in a contact list does not mean, you can use WhatsApp
to call someone.

Well, 75% [1] for our country. That's an awful lot of "teenagers" and "housewifes". And that's 75% of the *total* population, including
anything from babies to very old people.
But then, we aren't influenced by some silly Swiss guy who thinks he
knows it all and knows best.
<nightmare alert!>
For Switzerland, it's even a bit higher at 76% [3]!

Tell that to - for example - the Dutch railways (NS). They use -

They do? Which ones?
All. Otherwise they are in breach of the GDPR. Can be extremely
expensive and painful. Hence my connotation that *WA is for housewifes
and teenagers*. And forget this bullshit about E2E-encryption.
False.
I know people on important technology companies, with company phones,
and using wasap.

Exactly what is it there that you want to point out?
I see nothing in there talking of limiting the use of WhatsApp in
