WhatsApp only displays the phone number on some of your correspondents? Edit their file in the messaging system to add their first and last name to your contact list on your mobile.
When you set up WhatsApp for the first time, the messaging app draws your address book to determine your contacts who are using the app in order to generate a dedicated record in the app. But over time, it's likely that you'll share your number with new people without necessarily adding them to your smartphone's address book. In this case, if they send you a message on WhatsApp, the messaging app does not identify them with their name, but only with their phone number. To help you find your way around and find out who is writing to you, all you have to do is create a contact card directly from WhatsApp. The contact will then be saved and identified in your WhatsApp contacts, and a dedicated card will also be created in your smartphone's address book. The operation is very simple, on Android and iOS.
