Sharing a contact to WhatsApp results in faulty contact name
Description:
I've shared one of my contacts to WhatsApp. Usually, there's the contacts name displayed. In that case, the contact's company was displayed instead of the contact's name. Astonishingly, the shared contact's WhatsApp profile picture (not the contact's picture on my phone!) was shown correctly.
When trying to save that shared contact as a new contract on my phone, the contact's name was totally dissipated.
Environment:
- Simple Contract's version: 6.12.6 Pro
- OS: LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10)
- Device: BQ Aquaris X Pro
what do you mean by sharing contact to WhatsApp? Please give some steps for reproduction.
Just do the following:
-
In Simple Contacts, select a contact that you like to send to someone else via WhatsApp by doing a long tap on it (i.e. you like to share it with someone else by sending it via WhatsApp).
-
Tap on the three dots in the upper right corner to open the menu.
-
Select "Share".
-
A list of apps opens. Select WhatsApp as the target for the share action (i.e. as the app via you like to send/share the contact).
-
In WhatsApp, select one or more target contact(s) as receiver for the data of the contact that you selected in Simple Contacts for being shared.
-
WhatsApp will ask you if you are sure that you like to share the contact with the selected person(s).
-
After confirming the safety request, the contact is being send via WhatsApp to your target contact/person(s).
what contact name fields do you have filled in that case where you can reproduce the issue? I mean first name, last name etc?
