- Hey everyone!
I've been trying to enjoy whatsapp app on my Z10 but im running into a problem regarding contacts. When I first downloaded the app my contacts seemed to have synced ok, but a lot of them were just empty with no info and I was unable to select them. Then my contacts disappeared and I was left with only 2, after power cycling my phone and rebooting it I got back the same # of contacts originally but when I go start a new chat I can only select from 7 people. I know there's a problem because some of the people I talk to on whatsapp like my brother in law, don't show up in search yet I have an active chat open with him as I write this. Not too sure whats going on. Is there a setting somewhere I need to tweak?
Thanks in advance,

The first page in this thread talks about the same issue of the contacts disappearing. It's a known issue, and if no one answered it in that thread why would someone magically figure it out and answer it now?
And of course your installing it on a Z10 there are no other bb10 phones out so what other phone would you install a bb10 app on?

Don't re-install WhatsApp again if you have already done so. Do this in sequence. Go to WhatsApp's Contacts. Touch the 3 vertical dots. Touch "Refresh". And please wait. It may take awhile if you have hundreds or thousands of phone records. Once your contacts are refreshed, go to Favourites and refresh as well. Also wait. You will be good to go after his. Note that if you power down your Z10, it will take awhile again for WhatsApp to restore your Contacts. If you waited and don't see the list coming back, refresh both the Contacts and Favourites again.
I hope WhatsApp can help with making the Contacts & Favourites list refresh instantly as the app is accessed. Don't know how come this is happening when it doesn't happen on other versions of WhatsApp running on other OS.matt0135 likes this.03-14-13 10:57 PMLike 1 - http://forums.crackberry.com/showthread.php?t=781410

- I understand its a known issue, however what's the harm in asking the community again to see if someone has come up recently with a solution? I don't understand why there has to be such negativity towards a simple thread, its totally unnecessary. IF you have have something constructive to add to the thread than post it, if you don't know the solution then don't post, plain and simple.
It's a vicious cycle lol
Posted via CB1003-14-13 11:02 PMLike 0 - I hope you have found your answer. It has been posted many times in both threads. I say this with certainty because I was one of those who posted.

At the same time, I think in order to help our US BB fans, we should also be all hands on deck. I rather we hear more gushes about my beloved phone than complaints after complaints.03-14-13 11:05 PMLike 0 - 03-14-13 11:06 PMLike 0
- I had the disappearing contact problem. Got almost 1000 contacts so it takes a bit to refresh the list.
Two ways to refresh contacts... use the refresh function or reinstall the app if th first didn't work.
Also I am not sure if it's a bug but if someone bas two WhatsApp "Account" I can't seem to contact specifically one... it always seem to contact one of them
