Hi, ok here's my problem/annoyance - hope someone can understand it ok and help me :-)

Phone is HTC Desire 300 (ie ANDROID). A friend contacted me via Whatsapp I added them to my contacts as a Whatsapp contact. Later I decided to change the name I had originally put them under so edited the entry. I went to SMS them (not thru whatsapp) and I typed in their name, typed the message and then sent. phone then decides that it will show this conversation under the original name I put them as. This does nothing more than annoy me doesn't cause any problems otherwise. Because this annoys me I decided that I would delete them from my contacts and re-enter as a googlemail contact instead. So the original entry (*) shows in my contacts if I select Whatsapp contacts I cannot edit or delete this entry because it doesn't appear when I go to delete.

I guess this is something I will most likely have to live with, but if anyone knows HOW to correct this please let me know.



**just sorted it out myself uninstalled and re-installed the app and its sorted out my annoying problem

Buy your bananas in bunches of 5 on Sunday. Then arrange them in order of ripeness and write a day of the week on each banana in felt pen, Monday on the ripest, Friday on the greenest to save time making those decisions on a hectic weekday morning
