How to recover missing WhatsApp profile photos
Since the latest update that the application WhatsApp was being prepared, there has been quite a stir about the alleged new privacy feature that had just arrived A feature that prevented seeing another contact's profile picture that he did not have us on his agenda. Something that could get you a new level of privacy to prevent spam, but that has not gone down too well with the users of this messaging application.In fact, there have been many messages from readers who have criticized this measure alleging that it was a good feature to make sure of the contact with whom you were speaking or that you had finished to add.
However, over the days this function has become not very useful, even more so when the disappearance of the photos occurred randomly and happening with contacts that actually did have the user's phone number in their phonebooks. What made us suspect that was dealing more with a bug than with a new function And to all this we must add thelack of information from WhatsApp, which has not explained anything about it.
But at yourAPPSexpert we have a solution for this problem.And it is that apparently, and in the absence of official confirmation, it would be a bug or WhatsApp bug One that affects contacts whose phone number has been stored on the SIM card and not on the phone memory. terminal In this way, those contacts stored in the SIM would stop showing the profile image randomly. The solution? Easy: import contacts from SIM card to device.
Our tests have shown that the solution works at least on Android There are two ways to accomplish this process. The most rudimentary is to access the contact information and edit it to save it to the device memory and not to the SIM card , one by one. It should be mentioned that, randomly, the contacts that have been stored both on the device and on the SIM also do not show the profile photo, so it is convenient to delete only the information of said card to be able to consult the image in WhatsApp
The other method is automatic and affects the entire list of contacts Just press the button Menu and select the option Import/Export This allows you to move the entire list between the different memories, being the option Import from SIM card the one that is sought in this case. Thus, all that remains is to select Device as the destination point where to store the list. The problem is that the user can duplicate many of his contacts, having to perform a cleanup and eliminate those that are repeated. So perhaps the best option is to modify the information of the contacts whose profile photo cannot be seen.
With this, and immediately, the WhatsApp profile picture of said contacts reappears againWithout the need to carry out any type of application update or other procedures. Just by moving the contact information in the phonebook from the SIM card to the proper memory of the device
