Many WhatsApp users feedback that the WhatsApp contact name disappeared, or they can't see WhatsApp contacts from outlook or other exchange account after installing the latest iOS 11.3. But those contacts are still in Apple contacts app. Is any solution to fix this issue?
Why does this happen? Not WhatsApp, other third-party apps have also encountered this problem after this upgrade. Since Apple brings the new feature Data & Privacy in iOS 11.3. it uses the new Mobile Device Management(MDM) to protect the iPhone personal data. All the third - party app can't access the personal information, such as contacts, health data and more. Even you enable the request in Privacy -> Contacts.
WhatsApp only keeps the favorite contacts in contact list. And the current version of whatsApp has no direct way to import contacts from Contacts app. You need to manually add contacts to WhatsApp. Here are the steps.
1. Open WhatsApp, Tap Chats, and click the 
icons
2. Choose New Contact
3. Input or Copy the contact information, then tap done.
