My saved contacts are hidden?

[lg618]

I have some issues when saving contacts from WhatsApp. I'm not sure if this is a WhatsApp problem or Samsung/android problem. I'm using e-sim.

when trying to save a contact via pressing the persons profile page and pressing save, choose save to: phone. the contact is not visible under any category. see picture: why is this? the contact is labeled as: Phone (Phone)

but when saving again from profile page and this time pressing add information then saving to phone. then the contact is visible under Phone. its labeled as: Phone storage

1 - why are they being saved to different locations even though I choose save to phone?

2 - why aren't Phone (Phone) contacts visible in that picture? I'm guessing they saved under e-sim which is not supported by Samsung as contacts?

Im not sure, if this is a bias point of view, but what's up has very, very many flaws, and doesn't sleep up today with samsung software vary well my suggestion is uninstall, the whatsapp and reinstall it.Then try again.If the problem consists note on this post, and I will look into it

I'm, it also might be due to an e sim being locked there might be in the p permissions as well
