Hi, everyone! Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I think it is the best place to ask my question.
I am using a Samsung Note 20 Ultra 5G, with WhatsApp set up only on this device (no web whatsapp or a secondary device).
I have some contacts saved in my GMail account and some contacts saved on my SIM card.
The problem is that if I set the Contacts App (the phone's native one) to show the contacts from only one source (either GMail or SIM), WhatsApp shows the contacts from both sources.
If I phisicaly remove the SIM from the device (so the Contacts app does not even have access to the contacts stored there), WhatsApp still shows those contacts...
How can I set up WhatsApp to show the contacts from the source that I selected in the phone's Contacts app?
