iphone contacts titles are messed up... example facebook title is xmslsmdmdk”@@@3@3”;:9;”:facebook293

Is this normal? Random titles within certain contacts contain many random digits, numbers and symbols. Some social media titles, and companies. Where the email title is and you can add labels there are 3 new labels ....

Hi mac55405,


Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help with your iPhone Contacts app. It looks like random characters are appearing in your contacts information.


Have you tried restarting the iPhone since this began? That can resolve many minor issues. Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


It sounds like these aren't iCloud Contacts that are doing this but ones being synced with third party services. You can try going into Settings > Passwords & Accounts > Accounts and toggling Contacts off and on through whichever services you sync with. If these are iCloud Contacts, you can toggle them off and on as well.


Let me know how that goes and further details if it is not resolved.


Have a fantastic day!
