Name on Apple Watch

When I receive a notification from the Activity app, it doesn’t recognise my name. I tried many things, for example: changing my name on my phone and watch, turning off then on receiving notifications from Activity app, but nothing helped me. Does somebody else know anything about this problem? Thank you

Apple Watch Series 5, watchOS 6

Hello Gellért,


The information your phone uses to identify your names is based off of your personal contact card. Here is how to check that card on your paired iPhone to be sure it's set up correctly.

Let us know if that resolves your concern. If not, provide us some further details on how it isn't recognizing your name and we'll go from there.


Cheers!
