There could be several reasons why WhatsApp is not showing contact names on Android. Some of the common causes include:

1. Permission settings: WhatsApp requires access to your phone's contacts in order to display the names of your contacts. If you have denied WhatsApp access to your contacts, it will not be able to show contact names. To fix this, you can go to your phone's settings and grant WhatsApp permission to access your contacts.

2. Syncing issues: If your contacts are not synced properly with your phone, WhatsApp may not be able to show contact names. You can try syncing your contacts manually or restarting your phone to see if it resolves the issue.

3. Corrupted cache: Over time, the cache data on your phone can become corrupted, which can cause various issues, including WhatsApp not showing contact names. Clearing the cache for WhatsApp can help resolve the issue.

4. Outdated WhatsApp version: If you are using an outdated version of WhatsApp, it may not function properly and could cause issues like not showing contact names. Ensure that you have the latest version of WhatsApp installed.

5. Contact name not saved in WhatsApp: If the contact name is not saved in WhatsApp, it will not show up in the chat list. Ensure that the contact name is saved in your phone's contacts and that WhatsApp has access to it.

If none of these solutions work, you may need to uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp to see if it resolves the issue or read the complete articles on how to fix whatsapp not showing contact names on android
