[Android Central Question]

I accidentally clicked on reset app preferences on my phone and now my WhatsApp contacts don't have names all the names are gone and I can't even save anyone's name coz it won't reflect. I'm using a tecno canon 12 pro

Go into your app permissions for WhatsApp within your device settings and select to allow it the permission to your contacts.

Which phone?

That shouldn't reset names , only permission
To the app .
