You will be redirected to the conversation window of that particular contact. You can choose from the [WhatsApp Templates](/basic-modules/whatsapp-template-guidelines.md) in [Compose Box](/conversations/compose-box.md) to [initiate the conversation](/conversations/initiate-a-new-chat.md).

### Contact Updation Date

Once you update a contact, the contact Updation date and time will be visible. This field will not be listed in field collection or Column preference in contacts.
