use this code to get all whatsapp contact and save it it array list

Uri uri = ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI;
String[] projection = new String[] {
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME,
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER };
Cursor cursor = getContentResolver().query(uri, projection,
        RawContacts.ACCOUNT_TYPE + "= ?",
        new String[] { "com.whatsapp" }, null);

ArrayList<String> WContacts = new ArrayList<String>();

int indexNumber = cursor
        .getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);
while (cursor.moveToNext()) {

    WContacts.add(cursor.getString(indexNumber));
}
