Synchronizing contacts in WhatsApp on an Honor device is a straightforward process that ensures you have all your important contacts available for messaging within the app. Follow these detailed steps to achieve seamless contact synchronization:

  1. Ensure Contacts are Saved Correctly: Before syncing, make sure your contacts are saved correctly in your phone's native contact list. This includes having the correct name, phone number, and any other relevant information.

  2. Grant WhatsApp Permission to Access Contacts:

    • Open the Settings app on your Honor device.
    • Scroll down and tap on "Apps" or "Application Manager".
    • Find and select WhatsApp from the list of installed apps.
    • Tap on "Permissions".
    • Ensure that the "Contacts" permission is enabled. If it's not, toggle it on to grant WhatsApp access to your contacts.

  3. Check Contact Sync Settings:

    • Open the Settings app on your Honor device.
    • Tap on "Accounts".
    • Select the account you use for your contacts (e.g., Google, Microsoft Exchange).
    • Ensure that the "Contacts" option is checked or toggled on. This ensures that your contacts are synced with the cloud account.

  4. Update WhatsApp:

    • Open the Google Play Store app.
    • Tap on your profile picture in the upper right corner, then tap on "Manage apps & device".
    • Under the "Updates available" section, check if there is an update for WhatsApp. If so, tap on "Update" next to WhatsApp.

  5. Refresh Contact List in WhatsApp:

    • Tap on the three dots (⋮) in the upper right corner to open the menu.
    • Select "Settings".
    • Tap on "Chats".
    • Scroll down and tap on "Contacts".
    • Tap on the refresh icon (a circular arrow) at the top of the screen. This will force WhatsApp to resync your contacts.

  6. Manual Syncing: If the automatic sync doesn't work, you can manually add contacts to WhatsApp:

    • Open WhatsApp.
    • Tap on the "New Chat" icon (a speech bubble with a plus sign) at the bottom right corner.
    • Select "New Contact".
    • Enter the contact details and save it. This will ensure that the contact is added to your WhatsApp list.

By following these steps, you should be able to successfully sync your contacts in WhatsApp on your Honor device. If you encounter any issues, try restarting both your phone and the WhatsApp app to see if the problem resolves.
