Hi @iabhi,

Is this problem just occurring when using Whatsapp?

If so, we would recommend that you update Whatsapp to resolve the issue.

If the problem is not just with Whatsapp, please let us know and we'll follow up with more steps to help resolve the issue.

Warm regards,

I believe this has something to do with Whatsapp. I had the same issue when I changed my phone where the names of contacts in whatsapp were showing wrong. and had to change a setting in whatsapp and everything worked.

In whatsapp: settings>privacy>contacts and to disable Whatsapp Contacts

Nah you gotta delete whatsapp and re download and when it asks for permissions do not give it contact. Go through this reddit post in its entirety and understand and tailor to your situation.

Weird, as it was there for me when I did those steps but I can see its not there anymore so it must disappear afterwards. Hence needing to download the app again. Hopefully youb didnt click on retain whatsapp data when deleting it before downloading it again. You gotta back it up online and restore it after so need to delete all whatsapp data when deleting.
