exchange contacts not showing in whatsapp ios after 11.3 upgrade

It’s not a whatsapp issue.. it is the fact that as of iOS 11.3 your company contacts are now considered managed data and unmanaged apps can’t access it. One way to solve it is to define whatsapp as a managed app in your mdm and then it will be allowed to access your managed contacts

But your information security officer needs to approve such a solution. It may be that in your company the information security prefers that whatsapp and other 3rd party apps do not have access to company conta

This is an expected behaviour if you have a phone issued by your Company and their respective MDM solution in use.

Since iOS 11.3 Apple introduced a new EMM / MDM feature which containerizes Contacts from being used by Apps which are not installed by your Companies MDM, so-called unmanaged Apps.

The ways described how to get those Contacts back showing up in Apps like WhatsApp are more or less violations of your use of a Company owned and managed iPhone / iPad / Mac.

But thats just me saying, you may get in touch with your admin at work and have them explain it to you.

Lastly, according to the notes for one of the 11.3 betas, contacts are now treated as managed data. This is similar to the ‘open in’ controls introduced all the way back in iOS 7. If an app or email account is managed by MDM, then associated contacts cannot be accessed by unmanaged apps and accounts

introduced with 11.3:

Prevent contacts in managed accounts from being used in unmanaged apps or accounts. (Contacts now obey existing managed data restrictions.)

Hi Leventist,

I just copied the contacts from Exchange to iCloud by using outlook 2016 under windows (copy and paste).

under MacOS (High Sierra) apple contacts app can't access exchange contacts, and Outlook under mac can't access iCloud.

so I fired up a Windows-VM and did it under windows. There may be a better way, but this was the one I used.

Good Luck.

Cheers

- Thanks Panschososa, but I don't agree with your statement at all -

What is one of the core functions of the OS?

if not to provide the subsystem for inter Apps communication and data exchange.

contacts is an apple app, but why can whatsapp and Contact Mover access the contacts, if they are Exchange contacts?

The issue is caused by iOS 11.3, since nothing has changed on the phone except the iOS upgrade to 11.3.

You may have to wait a bit for WhatsApp to catch up with 11.3 update. I'm sure they will release an update soon if they have not already done it.

Hi,

I'm the developer behind Contact Mover. Can you email me at contactssyncforiphone@gmail.com? I could use some help reproducing the issue.

I think the problem is beyond Whatsapp.. My iWatch on watchIOS 4.3 does not sync up exchange contacts either anymore

What you agree or disagree with is irrelevant. Apple can assure compatibility with their own services and nothing more. Third party apps or services have never been promised, nor assured that they will work.
