Fix WhatsApp Not Showing Contacts Names On Android - Easy Solution | HTG
0If WhatsApp is not showing contact names on your Android device and only displaying phone numbers, it is likely due to a permissions issue. Fortunately, this is a simple fix that can be resolved in just a few steps.
First, locate the WhatsApp app on your Android device and long press its icon. A small menu will appear—look for an "i" icon or an option labeled "App Info" and tap on it. This will take you to the app information page. Next, find and select "Permissions." Under the permissions menu, look for "Contacts" and ensure that it is set to "Allow."
The reason WhatsApp is not displaying contact names is that it does not have permission to access your phone’s contact list. By enabling this permission, WhatsApp will be able to sync with your contacts and display their names correctly instead of just phone numbers.
After granting the necessary permission, close WhatsApp completely and relaunch it. Your chats should now display contact names instead of just numbers. If the issue persists, try refreshing your contacts by going to WhatsApp’s settings, selecting "Contacts," and tapping "Refresh."
