Whatsapp has stopped displaying most contact names in the sidebar. I only see phone numbers. Sorry for using Google Translate.

@kom72 What is the behavior in other browsers?

@leocg In other browsers? I don't have another browser. Do other browsers have the same sidebar as Opera?

@kom72 You have at least Internet Explorer and/or Edge.

The idea is just to check if it's a change in WhatsApp web.

@leocg I had no idea that Edge also has a sidebar with Whatsapp. Anyway, even in Edge, more than half of the contacts don't show up with a name and I only see phone numbers.

@kom72 No need to use the sidebar, just open WhatsApp web in any other browser to check if the behavior is the same or not.

@kom72 It could a Chromium issue or a WhatsApp Web one. The only way to know would be by checking with a browser that is not Chromium based, like Firefox.

@leocg even on https://web.whatsapp.com/ it is identical, i.e. most contacts are displayed without a name, with a phone number... Tested in Edge.

@kom72 That we already knew, the point now is to test in a browser that is not Chromium based.

@leocg ok, thanks for the effort, but I won't be installing another browser. I will find out how to fix the error elsewhere.
