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?
