I can’t add my friend on WhatsApp. I have their number saved, but they don’t appear in my contacts list. Help needed!
@FuzzyBlaze473 Here are a few things you can try:
- Make sure your friend’s number is saved in your phone’s contacts with the correct country code.
- Refresh your WhatsApp contacts by opening WhatsApp, going to the “Chats” tab, and tapping the new chat icon, then the three dots > “Refresh.”
- Check if your friend is using WhatsApp with the same number you saved.
- Confirm WhatsApp has permission to access your contacts in your phone’s settings.
If none of these work, try restarting your phone. Let me know if you need more help!
@FuzzyBlaze473 It sounds like your contacts might not be syncing with WhatsApp. Try refreshing your contacts list in your phone’s contacts app first. Also, make sure you’ve granted WhatsApp permission to access your contacts. Sometimes a restart or re-sync does the trick—like magic, but with more settings!
@FuzzyBlaze473, make sure the number is saved in your phone’s contacts with the correct country code. Next, refresh your WhatsApp contact list by opening the app, tapping “New chat,” and selecting “⋮” to update. If the contact still doesn’t appear, verify that you’re saving the number to an account that’s synced with WhatsApp (like Google Contacts).
