For one phone number, it shows the correct value, but for all the others it only displays a placeholder. I generated a report where the last two captured messages from a WhatsApp group illustrate this: - In example 1, the correct phone number is displayed. - In example 2, only the placeholder is shown.

Some time ago, there was the problem that the sender’s phone number was replaced by an ID that did not correspond to their actual phone number. As a temporary solution, I created a flow that used the newly transmitted number (at least the one being passed along) for authorization of all participants in an action. However, for the past few days one of my sons has been unable to trigger it, and I noticed that his number is now being transmitted correctly again. For all the others, though, this new “phone number” is still being sent. ---

@Michael_Fritzsche yes, so there have been some updates to the app but as we already figured at that point it was not fully working yet. I see the library does have updates for these LID’s so will check if i can make a new update which hopefully resolves it and returns numbers again instead of LID’s ---

@Patrick_Van_Deursen repair is not always working for this app Best thing do to is remove the device from homey and add it again Fix your flows with [[HOW-TO][Pro][Cloud] - Tool to FIX (advanced) flows after removing and re-adding devices](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-pro-cloud-tool-to-fix-advanced-flows-after-removing-and-re-adding-devices/65018) ---

Since the last update, I’ve been having nothing but problems with WhatsApp. Messages from others are barely getting through. I really have to open WhatsApp to see if I’ve received any messages. Maybe roll out a new update to fix this. ---

@Pierre_Toelen > [@Pierre\_Toelen](#): > > Maybe roll out a new update to fix this. Feel free to create a pull request 🙂 But maybe you can explain what you mean. It’s not really clear what the issue is. Messages in homey ? In the WhatsApp app on your phone? Are we talking about notifications? Or do you mean the messages are not there?

Hi @martijnpoppen, I am investigating why flows aren’t working anymore. **This is the implementation:** 1. I am sending a message to my whatsapp test channel where my homey device and I are in. The message is: “Hello @, this is a test” 2. My flow grabs the data from the message and creates a notification. **How it used to work (last proof was 17/12/2024 ;):** The "Text” element contained the phonenumber of my homey device. So in this example, the received message was: “Hello @316xxxxxxx316xxxxxxx, this is a test” (where the x’s are actual numbers) **How it now works:** The "Text” element contains not the phonenumber of my homey device. So in this example, the received message was@256xxxxxxxxxxxx “Hello @256xxxxxxxxxxxx, this is a test” (where the x’s are actual numbers) **Problem:** Normally I get the correct phonenumber from the Homey device (10 digit number prefixed with @), now I get a 15 digit number with also prefixed with a @ sign) **My setup:** - Homey pro (early 2023) - HomeyOS version: 12.7.0-rc.2 - App version: 1.33.3 and 1.34.0 (test) **Screenshots:** ![Screenshot from 2025-09-16 10-42-37](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/4/b/4b69264f8606bc289f59a5df8b56156ebbf5d86e.png) (The message in whatsapp) ![Screenshot from 2025-09-16 10-31-58](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/1/91c2f9804555ee1d716bad460bde3e2e214d3aa1.png) (My flows that checks is a message is received and sends a notification) ![WhatsApp Image 2025-09-16 at 10.34.46](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/f/ef35a4b4e0ece7f44624b99589c351465bd0c98d.jpeg) (The notification) ---

@martijnpoppen That’s why I installed the test version to test, but I still get the “wrong” phonenumber. After installing the test version, do I need to do something else?
