FIXED: found the solution myself (for android)...nothing to do with the privacy policy glitch bullshit
basically the ONLY PEOPLE who experienced this problem have all their contacts stored on their sim card and not on the phone's internal memory. you just have to export them (or some) to the phones memory and then open up whatsapp and you would see everyones picture. after that you can go back & delete all the contacts on your phones memory and you sim card phone numbers would still be their as normal
1. go to your phone contacts & select settings.
2. select import/export.
3. select import from sim card and then select the blue device icon.
4. find the contact who's pic you cant see & select done...the contact will copy, meaning you would have 2 of the same contacts in your list,
one with sim card icon & another one with the blue device/phone icon.
5. open whatsapp & you'll see that the contact who didnt have a pic would now have their original pic up showning once again.
6. if you want, go back into your contact list & delete the contact with the blue device/phone icon, leaving you with the sim card icon alone as originally. so you
would have one of the contacts number in you phone instead of two.
i rather have my contacts stored on my sim card rather than my phones internal memory, even though you can have both at the same time
