WhatsApp not showing all contact names in chat list

[AJL308]

Anyone got an answer to this? A couple of hours ago my WhatsApp has decided to change all of my contact names in the chat list to the contact's phone numbers. Googling it suggests that it's a permissions issue but all the permissions are set to open and I haven't changed them.

The weird thing is that although the vast majority have changed not all of the names have changed to numbers. Some are still showing the correct names. WhatsApp I've just updated in case it was that, it wasn't, so I can only think it's a phone issue?

Any suggestions?

So, I've just looked at my phone contacts and it turns out that that phone has actually dropped a load of contacts- the phone says there are 348 contacts, my Google has over 650 backed up. Why would it do this?

goto accounts and make sure each one of your email accounts has the contacts toggle on.

Assuming you are on an apple device ?

No, it's an Android device. Don't know what I did but they seem to be back now. Very weird few hours there!

If you did a soft reset of your phone that most likely would sort it
