How do I update my own contact information

Every time I edit my personal contact info the system reverts to my previous information. This impacts maps, my contact info that I'd want to forward to others, etc. Can you help?

iPhone XR, iOS 12

Where are your Contacts Stored?


Contacts are neither stored locally on an iPhone nor in SIM. They are synced to an email account that you had Google, iCloud, AOL, Exchange, Outlook, Yahoo or any Other


  1. How many Contacts account (email client server) you have?
  2. What is your default Contacts Account?
  3. Which email account you are using to store Contacts?
