Hello all,

After experiencing some trouble setting up my own Beeper instance I finally managed to have everything configured. I am currently using the Signal and Whatsapp bridge which I use to communicate with my friends and family. I use the Element app on Windows and iOS to reach the server, but now syncing is done the app only shows either the phone numbers or configured Whatsapp names if people are ‘sharing’ those, depending on their Whatsapp privacy setting. It makes communicating with people more difficult.

Is there a way to have it show the full names like configured on my contacts? It’s like this on Whatsapp Web, which it used to bridge I think?

    Thank you, I will look into this! I am hosting Beeper just for myself so this should be ok.
