Messages on iPhone

When I receive messages on my iPhone, those from people whose number I have saved using the +44 prefix have their names shown, but those saved without the +44 prefix just display the number. Any suggestions?!


iPhone XR, iOS 13

Greetings romor,


Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand contacts who don't have the prefix entered will not have their names displayed correctly in Messages.


To start, ensure iOS is updated: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If the issue persists, tap Settings > General > Language & Region. Change the region to a different location. Then, change the location back to the correct location. After, restart your iPhone and test the behavior.



Kind regards.
