On my Meizu M6, I had to manually add WhatsApp account (in Settings/Accounts).

  1. Make sure contact is using WhatsApp and/or Viber.
  2. Double check your contact, make sure the contact is saved. If it's a foreign phone number, use the full international format.
  3. Make sure you allowed WhatsApp and/or Viber access to your phone's contact. (Check out this video to know how to manager apps permissions)
  4. In your phone's contact app, make sure that all accounts/groups are set to visible or viewable.
  5. On WhatsApp, choose to show all contacts. Open WhatsApp > Press Menu button > Settings > Contacts > Show all contacts.
  6. On Viber, choose to show all contacts. Open Viber > Settings > General > Show all contacts. While you're there, tap Sync contacts as well.


Hope that helps!
