Hello, after some recent whatsapp update I can't see any of my contacts. I tried fiddling with the "show all contacts" setting in the app with no luck.
This happened after freshly resetting Sailfish and installing the latest version of the app, both from the official website and from the jolla store. I am now on 2.16.258.
The issue is essentially explained in this question, with the sole difference that I'm on Jolla 1.
Anyone with the same issue? Telegram can see the contacts just fine.
Ah, I despise whatsapp, once more. Sad most of my contacts use it.
Thanks!
Have ticked the option to allow android apps to access your contacts under android support?
I use 2.16.247 and my contacts appear just fine... I suggest you use another release of the app, these issues are sometimes version related

I do face this issue now and then after updating sailfish and/or whatsapp. I think it has something to do with me having android data and /home/nemo mounted to sd card. (correcting the mount --bind to mount --rbind mostly fixes the issue)
What helped back on sailfish ver.1.x.x was:
-backup Whatsapp data only (using titanium backup)
-remove whatsapp
-restart aliendalvik
-start Exdialer and let it load all contacts
-restart aliendalvik
-reinstall whatsapp but dont start it
-restore Whatsapp data with Titanium backup (data only)
-start WhatsApp and check if contacts load again

Thanks to both of you. The contact access is allowed. And exdialer does not see the contacts as well.
Something must have happened with my restored backup messing up everything
I'll try the titanium backup trick but so far I can't seem to find a way to root the Android side. Also, I'd rather not do it unless necessary!

Just install Aliendalvik Superuser from Warehouse.
Inside Superuser app go to preferences - Multi-User Mode and set it to -User-controlled-. Also set 'Automatic Response' to -allow- and you are set.
Remove it afterwards if you want.

It really is time for the masses to wake up!
Use https://telegram.org/ or https://whispersystems.org/ instead of NSA clients such as Whatsup, facebook, skype or gtalk!
Hopefully the masses wakeup after seeing snowden film.....

Thanks for the link.
@jordi Thank you too for the read, It is mind opening.
@J4zz I went through your steps, no luck. Exdialer can't see the contacts.
Keep in mind that I had no local contacts, I only imported them from my Google accounts where I still store them (I need to move them to my own carddav server soon). I read somewhere that Sailfish cannot expose the "cloud" contacts to the Android layer for some legal/technical reasons. Can't remember where.
This does not really explain why everything worked before the reset, and why Telegram can access them though.
I'll keep you posted.

But is also marketing and tell why they should use telegram/signal instead.

I personally will recommend this to my parents as soon as I am sure what is best. signal vs telegram in case of security.
