Ok. Hopefully they will. We should insist.

Hello,

Can you please try this solution: go to Contacts settings > Manage Contacts > Sync Accounts and in there make sure that WhatsApp is there and switched on

I've got the same problem.

On my old Galaxy S9 I could use Whatsapp and Viber from Phone App, could see who from my contacts use Whatsapp/Viber, but since using S21 (Andorid 12) I don't have this option. I used this a lot.

I did sync everything many times, no luck.

I have same issue, given and accepted solution wont solve the actual issue.
Contact app needs to show the WhatsApp symbol as shown in above image for valid whatsapp phone number. This feature was working great in my old samsung phone.
