Android phone not displaying SMS sender ID

Question

My Android phone does not show SMS sender ID, for example if one of the friends from my contact list, texts me, my phone will not show the name of the sender (which is saved in my contact list), it just shows the phone number of the sender. But when they call me, my phone shows the caller ID name (as saved in my contact list). Any help fixing this issue will be appreciated.

See if your App has necessary permission

Delete the App data/ reinstall it

Or

Try some other messaging app

Or

Reset your phone

Answer 2

I fixed it. In settings, search for Sync (google contact sync), enable it. That will fix the problem.
