Wrong contact shown

I mistakenly added a phone number to the wrong contact in my contacts. I have corrected it, deleting the number from the erroneous contact and adding it to the correct one. When I now send or receive texts from that number, however, I still see the wrong contact name!


I have tried turning off iMessage in settings, restarting my phone, etc. but can’t get iMessage to display the updated contact. How do I root out the false association?

I was going to try that, but thought of logging out of icloud first. Worked!

Thanks, though!
