Thank you Josheph_S. Im blind! I felt sure that default was somewhere but I just didnt see it when looking for it again this time.
Ok, so here is what I did and the results of this test -
- Deleted my daughters contact from phone and made sure it was gone from both iCloud and Google
- Made iCloud contact account default
- Added daughter contact info (First, Last name, telephone # and email) to iCloud account from phone
- Went to google contacts via web accessed via laptop and added her contact info the same as in iCloud
- On phone I turned off and on both the iCloud and Google accounts to make sure that the contact was in there twice under both contacts
- Sent SMS message to myself to see if contact name would appear (it went through as a SMS message as intended, NOT as an iMessage)
- Called myself from her phone
Results: Contact name appeared on text message. It even loaded all old messages under her contact. When I called myself, the contact name appeared but.... it showed up as "First Name or First and Last Name". Like it was referencing both contacts within iCloud and Google.
So yes this worked, but I dont have a lot of faith that this will continue working. Previous experience over the past month has shown me that it could be working one moment and not the next. For now Im going to proceed to figure out a way to export out my Google contact list and import into iCloud and then turn off google contacts and then give it some time to see what results I have. I will update this thread with results when I have them.
