WhatsApp contact has wrong name associated with it in contacts (but correct name within WhatsApp itself) - How to fix? In setting up my new Samsung S4 mini one contact (guy) got confused with another (girl). When the girl would phone me, I'd see the guy's picture (via google) and name. Somehow I changed the number and saved the girl as a separate new entry. Along the way, I must have done something wrong, cuz as a result I've now got the following entries in contacts:


guy: Phone, Google, WhatsApp
girl: Phone, Google
(same) guy's name: WhatsApp of the girl ( ! )


In contrast, within WhatsApp itself, the names of the guy &amp; girl are correct.

How to fix?



PS: If I try to delete the guy's name girl's WhatsApp contact, I get the following message popup: 


  You cannot delete contacts from read-only accounts, but you can hide
  them in your contacts lists.
I was facing the same problem. 
I followed following steps which resolved the issue.


Removed the WhatsApp from Setting-->Account (no Impact on whatsApp).
Removed the Google account &amp; added back. 


This solved my problem.
