I need some help from you. I was transferring WhatsApp from my old phone to my new phone. I did not take a backup and the contacts were not saved in the old phone but they were visible in the WhatsApp list. I transferred WhatsApp to the new phone but the WhatsApp messages are gone but the contacts that were not saved in the phone were visible on WhatsApp. Now what should I do so that the contacts are recovered?

phone settings > accounts & backup > manage accounts > whatsapp > sync account > contacts: turn this ON.
do refresh in ur phone app (do sync ON in ur phone)

if this not work; open whatsapp in laptop with whatsapp web, with an extension, export .csv or .vcf file of contacts saved in ur whatsapp, transferred this .csv file to ur new phone. Go to phone app settings and import this .csv file to see all ur contacts synced as in ur whatsapp.
