Dialer & Contacts app display duplicate (WhatsApp)


Issue: When searching in dialer or contacts apps (From Google Play store, latest version) many contacts show up twice. Only contacts with WhatsApp (or more times if more phone numbers stored under the contact have WhatsApp enable)



https://contacts.google.com online show only one Contact. So no "real" duplicates.


Manual Fix, (one by one): When I edit & save the contact the contacts are now "merged" like it used to be.


This is a new phone and WhatsApp data was restored from Cloud backup.


Same issue:



Attempts to fix



  • Customize the view in contacts app is not a solutions.

  • Cleared the Contacts Storage data



Any suggestion how to fix it without manual touching all contacts?
