  2. Reinstall the Chrome extension and try it again.

What should I do if the number of extracted WhatsApp contacts is less than the number in the phone contact?

The reason why the number of WhatsApp contacts extracted by the WA Contact Extractor is less than the number in the phone contacts is usually because the data in the mobile phone has not been sync to WhatsApp Web, and the WA Contact Extractor can only extract WhatsApp contacts from web.whatsapp.com.

Here is a solution idea we provide for reference. After adding new contacts, first open WhatsApp on your phone, sync the new contacts to this APP, and then log in to your WhatsApp account at web.whatsapp.com. At this time, if you use the Chrome extension to extract WhatsApp contacts, it is possible to extract the same number as in the phone contacts.
