[Android] Whatsapp contacts problem


AlexCross

Recommended Posts

Hello!

I have a problem with Whatsapp app, i'm running Android 4.1 and my Whatsapp contacts don't appear in my Agenda, for example, if I sort the list to show only the Whatsapp users, it shows only 3 people from 57 that I have when I enter in Whatsapp.

What seems to be the problem?

So, to summarize, my contacts are shown in Whatsapp, the problem is that the Whatsapp users are not shown in my agenda. (Only 3 are shown).

When I click on one person, it shows his phone number and his whatsapp phone number, for other person it is show a duplicate, one with his phone number, other one with just whatsapp phone number( sure it's the same number but, why it shows as a duplicate and it isn't merged like the other person), and the rest of +55 users are not shown at all in my Agenda that they are whatsapp users.

I have installed a PC app to export my contacts to my pc, and if I sort the list to show only the whatsapp users from the contacts that I have exported, it shows 3 people and 54 blank rows, with no information, name, phone number or anything, it just says that it's from whatsapp.

Try this method:

1. Backup this folder or move to PC: /sdcard/WhatsApp , then delete it from your device.

2. Completely remove whatsapp, dont forget to clear data first, then download whatsapp from here http://www.whatsapp.com/android/

3. Move all SIM contacts to phone memory, dont forget to add country code in your contacts

4. Install whatsapp

5. Done

I think I fixed it, almost.

I have imported all my contacts from SIM to phone memory.

Then I had duplicates for all my contacts, just did a scan to find duplicates, and then merged them, and now all my Whatsapp contacts appear in my Agenda, except only 1 contact.

Does anyone know how to backup your contact list from your phone (I have a Samsung NoteTab II ) and I have a WhatsApp Original installed and I want to install the WhatsApp+ version to my phone without losing any contacts.

No need to backup contact , I use whatsapp+ too.

But if you want, you can use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts
