On my whatsapp, if the contact has no whatsapp profile photo, it shows the phone contact photo.

If you have a rooted device, I've made an app that can do it automatically for you:
http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/app-contacts-sync-sync-contacts-photos-t3483461
For now, it's not on the play store and there is no update mechanism, but I will try to make one in future versions.

Try downloading via another web browser or PC.
I've downloaded via Chrome Dev on Nexus 5x with Android 7.0, and it works fine...
The APK is ok.
If you wish, here's a different link (of the current APK) :

You mean this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.michaelflisar.socialcontactphotosync
?
If so, I tried it in the past, and when I did, it only allows to manually sync : you need to go to the contact info screen of WhatsApp, share the image, and choose to who to set it.
Not only that, but on later versions of WhatsApp, even this didn't work.
Plus, this app messed up with my contacts each time I changed a rom and restored it.
If you talk about this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rm.android.wcps&hl=en
- then it also doesn't really work. It opens WhatsApp and tells you to open the large screen page of the contact, and that's it. Doesn't do anything with it.
My solution is fully automatic, using root.
The only other app I know about that syncs well is Sync.Me, which syncs with a multiple social networks, but not with WhatsApp (and it has a good reason that it's not included).

Sorry I didn't try it yet on 7.1 .
In which phase doesn't it work? What happens when you launch it?
What exactly is the issue?
Can you please PM me or write about it on the thread of the app:

Just tested on Nexus 5x with 7.1 of Pixel rom (from here) . Works fine for me.
Which device do you have that it doesn't work ? What exactly doesn't work?
Oneplus 3 Android 7.1 beta
after sync my whatsapp contacts, I can not see any pictures in my contacts
OP3 with Android 7.0 here.
Not working. It does not recognize all my contacts. Just 4 of them.
All my contacts are Google contacts synced and merged with WhatsApp contacts

Is there any way I can get auto syncing without root?
I found an app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rm.android.wcps
But it syncs only first 30.
I have seen few apps which take adb permissions from PC to work if they don't get root permissions from the android.

Hi,
Don't know if this still relevant.
Checkout this new app:
play.google.com
It uses a different concept than traditional whatsapp sync apps.

Your app require to scan the QRCode, but i can only scan external device, coz i have to use camera.
Hi Rodrigo,
Unfortunately, this is not possible as WhatsApp requires you to scan the QR code using your camera.
You can send the QR code to a friend and scan the QR using his/her phone.
Paring is a one time process
Let me know how it goes
