DAVx5 address book not showing in list of contact lists #1497
-
|
I have been using DAVx5 for years to sync my contacts from my Nextcloud server to my Android phone (Moto g31(w) Android 12). However I just added a contact from WhatsApp and was only offered my Google accounts and 'save to device' as a storage location. If I add a new contact I am offered the option of adding this to my DAVx5 address book, and my existing contacts show they are in my DAVx5 address book, but I can't move a contact there or create a contact there from WhatsApp. I assume Google has changed something, and this could have happened ages ago (as I said - afaik DAVx5 has just been working in the background for years) but does anyone know how to fix this? There was a suggestion in the FAQ "[Android 12] How to make Google Contacts show your DAVx5 address books" which is not quite my my issue but I tried the suggestion anyway and it did not solve the problem. |

Hi, this is a well known issue with WhatsApp, and we really cannot do anything about it. They don't want you to store contacts on other places. My only suggestion is to copy-paste the data into your contacts app. I know it's inconvenient, but business decisions I guess. Sorry for the inconvenience. |

No problem, I assumed it wasn't DAVx5's fault. |

I'm not sure about that one, I think most contacts apps don't even show WhatsApp as an address book. It's quite an inconvenient thing. |
