Android WhatsApp - Revoke Contacts Permission while offline, app won't update

[Kris314]

Hi. I want to be able to change my settings for WhatsApp while offline. Specifically, if I've granted contacts permission, once I'm offline I'd like to be able to revoke contacts permission and then see it reflected the next time I open WhatsApp (so no contact names are see for chats/calls). If I just do the basic steps, this does not happen. I need to connect to wifi or a network to see the change.

Is there a way to get around this?

Try the app Bouncer from the play store.
