[Q] My phone contacts cannot be visible to whatsapp

Dear all,
I use google account to input my contacts. Now, when I input a contact to my android phone. The contact does not show in whatsapp. I am sure the user is having whatsapp installed. How can I make my contacts visible in whatsapp.
Thanks.

in whats app setting, contacts, check the show all contacts...(maybe its hidden contact with this check its ok)
if not worked, maybe the one you think had whats app, registered with another phone number,

Go to Whatsapp settings>contacts>tick show all contacts.. if the problem persists then try syncing your contacts again with whatsapp servers by going to phone settings>accounts& syn>tap whatsapp account then sync contacts... it will solve your problem...Click Thanks if i helped you.

Hi all , for days now im trying to fix this problem , i tried almost everything but nothing works.
Can't see my contact list on whatsapp , viber , line etc , it just doesn't want to sync. The apps are working fine but i can't see any contacts , i only see the number if someone msges or calls me , and even if i add it manually to my contact list nothing happens.
I imported my contacts from my SIM , synced it with the google account , whatsapp account , everything is up to date.
It might be a ROM problem (can't ask in the development sections need 10 posts )
Im on cm-10.2-20140104-Sultan-pyramid.zip (with ION) (HTC sensation XE)
Last ROM that worked: cm-10.2-20131117-Sultan-pyramid.zip (no ION)
It seems no one has the problem cause no one is complaining about it.
Is there a possible fix? Or it's just the ROM that is not compatible , but why is no one reporting the problem?
(Google couldn't help me, i hope XDA can! )
Thank you very much

Suggestions are welcomed, thanks

I guess i gonna have to try my luck elsewhere , thank you anyways

You can only share your contacts in whatsapp!

It's not about sharing contacts its about having a visible contact list on whatsapp/viber and co

Indeed! I have checked Viber and the same issue. Also my voip phone (Zoiper) does not keep call log. I have moved to CM 11 M2 Snapshot but in vain.

Have you got a security app like LBE or XPrivacy.
I think permissions to sync contacts and these apps are blocked if u can see only numbers

Thank you for the reply, no I don't use any privacy app even after closing Avg anti virus and the task killer, nothing works. And I don't see any contacts, when someone msges me I see the number even if I have them in my phone book. And if I add them manually to the contacts it won't update I just see their number. Even after fresh rom install I do not see the contacts, and reinstalling apps is not helping. Or wiping cache+dalvik. I don't know what the problem could be.

Have u got a Gmail account that sync your contacts on your phone ???

Yes I have an Google account that is synced with my device, everything is working fine. Except that apps like whatsapp, viber etc can't get to my contacts list.

kitkat dialer search problem

I installed the nightly for cm11 from today hoping that I would have the dialer search feature that allows you to look up business phone numbers. The default dialer that comes with cm11 didn't seem to have this feature. When I did a google search I found out that you have to install a seperate dialer app with this capability. After installing the zip, the text box in the dialer said I could search for contacts or locations, but every attempt to search for a business didn't work. It only gave me contact results. Has anyone else had this issue?

Duplicate numbers in dialer

Hello everyone,
I am running a stock rom on my GS6 and since yesterday, when I had to call someone I noticed that I have duplicate phone numbers for each contact, but only when I type a contact's name using the T9 function of dialer. If I go to contacts, everything is fine.
I noticed that the issue is solved after uninstalling whatsapp. When I reinstalled whatsapp from the play store, it installed version 2.12.176, but I instantly got the update for 2.12.242 which was the version I had before. The issue came back after 30 minutes of use...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had that problem also but because of another app, you need to not sync the app with your contacts. I was able to unsync the contacts from my app. Try going into settings, accounts and see if you can set it to not sync or maybe in the app unsync your contacts.

I don't have this whatsapp contact sync problem, but i had duplicate contacts. Did you try to "merge contacts" from the menu in the contacts app? For me this worked

the problem is that contacts don't show the duplicate numbers, it's just from whatsapp/other app that is giving this problem.

I have the same problem on my Galaxy s6... Any fix?

Yes i have this problem. Any Fix??

Hello I have the exact same problem. But a lot of people that have the S6 (95%) doesn't have this issue.
Maybe we have a contact problem in our Google account?
I'm thinking of deleting and retyping all of them bit it's annoying...
Should I give a try? I need WhatsApp so much but this double number issue is very frustrating at the same time....

Okey, so I had the exact same problem and I think I might have found a way to fix this. The problem is it's contact by contact and not bulk.
1. Go to your contacts in your S6. Search for a contact that you know have duplicate numbers in the dialer.
2. You will now see that there is just one number added to the contact.
3. Click the "show more" link in the bottom of the contact card (above your recent activity)
4. This expanded view now shows you more contact info. Look for the "Connected by" field with a link symbol on the right.
5. This field will show you what services link contact info to this contact. Click it and press the "-" by the connected app to split it from this contact.
6. Now if you search for this contact again you will find two contacts. The original one and the one you just broke free.
7. Click the unwanted one and press "more" in the top right and select "delete". It will warn you that you cant delete read only stuff but proceed anyway.
8. Voila! Now you don't have duplicate numbers in your dialer.
As I said this is a bit tedious, but it works. I have done it to my most frequent contacts and thats good enough for now. There is an option in the contact app where you can choose what sources to show in your contacts but that doesn't seem to work or doesn't apply to the dialer.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the help Bathyon I'll try this when I get back from work!!! I'll let you know.

This problem is not restricted to only the S6. I have the exact same problem on my Galaxy S4 mini Duos

I'm having the same problem with my Moto X (1st Gen). :/

Working ! ! ! ! Thank you very much ! You're a hero ! WhatsApp settings doesn't ask you if you want or not the app to mix up with your Google contacts. You found the solution to "separate" them without having twice the same contact anymore !
Thanks again !

Glad I could help. It was driving me mad so I'm as happy as you are

I don't think it's the proper solution. The apps need to fix the problem. I'm having the same problem on S5 too

Also having this problem. With the latest Whatsapp Beta. I will try seperating them.

For those who are still annoyed by this problem, I've found a more elegant solution - yet still somewhat of a hack. Unfortunately, root is required until marshmallow hits our devices:
1) Uninstall Whatsapp from your device
2) Install "App Ops" by nowsky from the Play Store
3) Reinstall Whatsapp (but do not yet open it)
4) Open up App Ops
5) Scroll down to Whatsapp in any of the categories (e.g. location)
6) Press on Whatsapp and untick its ability to "modify contacts"
7) Open and configure Whatsapp normally
Henceforth, Whatsapp won't be able to create duplicate numbers or entries. This solution does not seem to have any detrimental effect on Whatsapp itself. All Whatsapp capable contacts are properly displayed, there are no error messages and what have you.

Where are Oneplus Messaging and Recorder apps? (With solution)

Oneplus messaging app was so great because it was simply and working without much fuss, now it's google messages, spammy AF! I need the old messaging back! Any ideas?
Recorder app come in handy too. Why they did deleted these apps? Plus the facebook thing on the 8, Oneplus becoming corrupt...
Edit: Dialer is out too. The new one is horrible. Contact editing is so confusing.
SOLUTION: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...how-to-oneplus-dialer-call-recording-t4189165
- Set oneplus dialer as default before disabling google dialer.

They don't have Facebook pre-installed on the 8T. Honest I never used the Google messenger. Always used textra on all my android phones. And for then caller I sue the stock Google one.
