How can the new contactmethod be updated/accessed? Other than the Users Pannel?

Why this gives warning when I check this with "Theme check" wp plugin.
REQUIRED: The theme uses the user_contactmethods filter, which is plugin-territory functionality.

@ayoubkhan558 It sounds like you added it to the theme. The best practice would be to add it to a plugin. The reason is if we code it into the the theme and then a user switches themes, they lose that functionality. A theme should really just impact the look and feel of a site.
