Hey cyn2206,
It sounds like you're missing contact names on your iPhone and having issues with WhatsApp. We can understand wanting to get that resolved. We want to help.
If you use iCloud for Contacts, we'd recommend trying the steps here to restore your contacts: Restore contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and more using iCloud.com
If you've recently removed any email accounts from your iPhone, it's possible the contacts were stored within that account. If that's the case, we'd suggest re-adding any previously used email accounts to your iPhone to see if that restores your contacts. You can see which accounts store contacts in Settings > Contacts > Accounts.
Regarding WhatsApp, we'd recommend checking for and installing any updates that may be available for WhatsApp. If that doesn't help, you may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling WhatsApp to see if that resolves the issue.
Thanks!
