If your contacts' numbers are shown instead of their names, you might need to reset the WhatsApp sync with your contacts. To do so: Open your phone's Settings, then tap Users & accounts > WhatsApp.

The names just came through thanks

Sounds great!
Please let me know if I can help you with anything else.

Customer Replay

if I would like to type someone name on WhatsApp how do I do it because a few names did not come through

Please make sure that that person is added to your phone contact list.

Customer Replay

there is no other way to type it in

If that is the case, please do the following:
Press Contacts on the apps menu.
Press New contact or New.
Enter the contact's name and phone number > press SAVE.
The contact should automatically appear in your WhatsApp contact list. If the contact doesn't appear, open WhatsApp, then press New chat > Options > Reload contacts.
