*** Duplicate phone numbers
Each contact has "multiple" mobile phone numbers: =+12 3 45 67 89 01…=
and =+12345678901=.  Must "select destination" when picking a contact
in "New conversation".

Deleting & re-creating the contact removes the duplicate number,
until… some time passes.  Presumably until WhatsApp syncs?

Attempted to disable WhatsApp sync in =Accounts and backup=, but it
turns back on after a couple of minutes.  If I had enough patience, I
could try turning off auto-sync globally, for all accounts.
