Samsung S8 "my Files"folder contacts not showing newly added contacts

[Android Central Question]

I have samsung S8 and I have started using the "my files" option and my whats app is in "my Files" .But if i add any new contact to my gmail , it is not showing on whats app, though it shows in contacts outside My Files "contacts" , but it is not showing in "Contacts" ,inside my files .Everytime I add new contact , then i need to add it twice , once in outside "my files" contacts and then again inside "my files " contacts .

Welcome to Android Central! Sorry, but are you talking about .vcf files? The Contacts app doesn't save contacts as discrete files -- they're saved to an SQLite database in a secure system directory (for contacts saved to the local Phone account) or synced to the cloud (for contacts saved to your Google account).
