Starting with 1.1.7.24, Whatsapp will only show phone numbers rather than the matching names in People. This happens even if the new switch enabling Android apps to access contact data is active. EDIT: This appears to be true for all Android apps.

this does work. but you need to enable hidden contacts in whatsapp.
go to settings in whatsapp, select contacts, make sure the checkbox for 'show all contacts' is selected. after this your contacts will appear.
They are already enabled. As I said, the problem appeared with 1.1.7.24.

What helped here was -backup Whatsapp data only (using titanium backup) -remove whatsapp -restart aliendalvik -start Exdialer and let it load all contacts -restart aliendalvik -reinstall whatsapp but dont start it -restore Whatsapp data with Titanium backup (data only) -start WhatsApp and let it load all contacts again
