If your friend does not appear in the Select contact list, please do the following steps from 2 Options:
Option 1:
- Ensure that your friends is a contact in your phone address book
- WhatsApp will show contacts only if they are using WhatsApp. Please check that with your friend
- In your Android phone book, make sure that all contact accounts (i.e. SIM, Google, Phone) are "visible" or "viewable".
- In your Android phone book, ensure that all contact groups (i.e. Friends, Family) are "visible" or "viewable".
It is recommended, you make your contacts "not visible" and then "visible" to force a refresh. After doing this launch WhatsApp > > Menu Button > Refresh.
Option 2:
Alternatively, you can use all your contacts, not just the "visible" ones. To do this go to Menu Button > Settings > Contacts > Show all contacts.
