E.g. Whatsapp has this property that checks the list of your contacts and determines the contacts that have Whatsapp registered with their number.

I want to do the same with a (future) Glide-built app. I.e., get the list of contacts and determine the ones that have the Glide-built app registered with their mobile phone number.

Is this possible?

No. You cannot gain access to the contact list on the phone, this is a feature that native apps can have and PWAs don’t have.
