Can’t send WhatsApp from the contacts app

Why I can send WhatsApp and telegram messages to one contact (from the contacts app) and can’t to another?

  • Others may not be on WhatsApp and Telegram!
  • What error message do you get?
  • Have you stored Phone numbers correctly in the list of contacts? Unlike some Android devices, contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other
  • Have you used a correct Phone number format?

Spaces, Hyphen or Parentheses in a Phone number depends on the International prefix


Watch the GIF below. Note here only numbers are being input, but Spaces, Hyphen or Parentheses are added by iPhone automatically
