Hello, dear sailors!

I have done the update on my J1. (SFOS 3.2.0.12) It seems to work properly, but WhatsApp does not show names any more but phone numbers. When I start a new message, it says: "No WhatsApp contacts"

And YES, I have checked if conacts are shared for Alien Dalvik und Settings/Android support?

What has happened?

EDIT: The "purge" of contacts did not happen all at once. I could see some names still coming up, for instance on the "status" page. In the meantime, they are all gone.

I am pushing it up again, as this is really annoying.

I also noticed the contacts had disappeared in whatsapp, only phone numbers were shown for messages. But after going to the contacts list (in whatsapp) and waiting for a while, the contacts started to appear. After about one minute all the contacts were showing again.

And this was with Xperia X.

Same for me with Signal: names disappeared, only numbers available. Unfortunately waiting didn't help yet.

I've seen this effect several times on my Xperia X. Typically it takes some weeks until the names appear again. Unfortunately I don't know what triggers the restore process.

I had the same issue after upgrading to 3.2 (Xperia X). I restarted Android support fixed it.

With previous updates I used to have it with my Jolla 1. A reboot always fixed it. Now after any update I just do an extra reboot.

Yes, I have. The checkbox is turned on.
