WhatsApp desktop app showing numbers, not names

New MBP, Ventura installed. WhatsApp desktop app shows numbers for individual contacts instead of names.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled - no change.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 13.0

Incorrect device name suffix in WhatsApp linked devices list WhatsApp is automatically suffixing a number to the device name in the list of Linked devices shown in WhatsApp app settings. The suffixed number has no correlation to the actual number of linked devices at that time. For example, a number “7” is suffixed to the device name in list of Linked devices shown in WhatsApp, even though that computer/ device is the only one shown as a linked device. If we try to edit the device name to remove the suffixed digit, it does not move forward. Whatsapp does not respond to emails about this issue. Anyone else? Screenshot attached.

Greetings SeedyOZ,

If you are having difficulty with WhatsApp, you'll want to contact WhatsApp directly for assistance.

If an app on your Mac stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support

Take care.
